The colorful final was graced by Kyabazinga William Gabula Nadiope IV, who officiated as the Chief Guest. Through Sports Minister Amin Bbosa, the Kingdom commended both teams for their outstanding performances and praised the tournament for nurturing young football talent across Busoga.

With another trophy added to their cabinet, Kigulu now holds the record as the most successful team in MTN Busoga Masaza Cup history, and their sights are firmly set on defending the title and extending their legacy in this prestigious regional competition.
