Kyaggwe dominated the 2026 October Fortebet Real Stars Sports Monthly Awards held on Tuesday at Molecule in Kololo.
Kyaggwe head coach Ronald Ssali and County Chief, Ssekiboobo Vincent Matovu, both received Lifetime Achievement Awards, while George Kato, who struck the only goal that secured the maiden title for Kyaggwe in the final, smiled to the Player of the Month gong.
The trio was rewarded for their contributions towards helping Kyaggwe clinch their first-ever Masaza Cup title after overcoming record winners Gomba 1-0 in the final played last Saturday, thanks to Kato’s sole goal.
Ssekiboobo Matovu has been supportive to the newly crowned Masaza Cup champions during several campaigns and his contributions was worthy recognition. Ssali on the other hand etched his name in the history books as the first coach to guide Kyaggwe to their maiden title ending a 22-year wait.
In boxing, Vanessa Nagawa, who became the first Ugandan woman boxer to win gold at the Africa Boxing Championships, was named Boxer of the Month.
She beat Muzamir Kakande and Samuel Nsubuga to clinch the October gong.
Joseph Ssebatindira smiled to the Table Tennis award for the month of October. The winners were rewarded with cash prizes and winners’ plaques.
