Dudely, a Briton based in Kampala at the time, created the program in 1998, which attracted many youngsters from across the country.

Trevor Dudely will always be remembered for the immense contribution he made to the development of youngsters when he ran the Kampala Kids League program.

Dudely, a Briton based in Kampala at the time, created the program in 1998, which attracted many youngsters from across the country.

Saddam Juma was one of those kids and went on to feature for different top-flight clubs after the program closed shop.

“The league stopped due to some reasons, but we (the old boys) are cooking something to bring back the glory days of KKL,” Saddam said in response to tweet.

“And this Saturday we have a reunion game at Kakungulu Memorial School in Kibuli,” he added.

The Kampala Kids League gave birth to several Uganda Premier League stars like KCCA FC goalkeeper and captain Benjamin Ochan, defender Denis Iguma, Gift Ali, Daniel Sserunkuma, Emma Magembe, and Mike Mutyaba, to mention but a few.

About the Kampala Kids League

The KKL was formed in 1988 by a long-standing British resident of Kampala, Trevor Dudely; the league went on to create a foundation for most of Uganda’s current stars featured in the league and abroad.

KKL went on to win several underage European competitions like the Tivoli and Gothia Cups, the football festival in Denmark twice in 2006 and 2007, along with the Haarlem Cup in Holland and Norway Cups in 2004 and 2005.

The Program collapsed in 2010 after Trevor Dudely retired and handed over the league’s operations to his son Mark Dudely; not much has been done since.
