FOOTBALL UPL Awards: Kayiwa, Okello set to receive coveted prizes
While Kayiwa was the topscorer with 13 goals at Express FC, Okello , who plied his trade at KCCA FC last season, provided the most assists (eight) in the league.
It boosts and motivates players' morale to give their best, drawing fans' adoration everywhere.
It is not always a fairytale as some outstanding players in the season get to miss out, as life has a curious way of being unfair!
But all in all, one can never regret when he does his best to be the best.

UPL AWARDS Midfield maestros - who was the finest for the season?
The 2022/23 Uganda Premier League season was never short of quality in the middle of the park, but three peeled away from the lot and are thus contesting for the Pilsner End of the season awards.

UPL AWARDS Defensive kingpins, who stood out?
As the Pilsner StarTimes Uganda Premier League awards edge closer, the battle of who will be named the finest defender of the season is hotting up desirably.
As a former player at Vipers SC (Bunamwaya SC), I got national team call-ups on the senior team and youth levels after good displays in the league.
And when I was named best goalkeeper of the tournament after helping the Uganda Hippos win the under-20 tournament in Eritrea, it motivated me to want to achieve more.
The same applies to current footballers, who have secured professional footballing contracts in Africa and beyond after taking the league by storm and having marvelous seasons.

FOOTBALL UPL Awards: Tough competition for Young Player of the Season
It is a worthy prize fight as three brilliant and budding players battle it out for the 2022/1013 Pilsner - StarTimes Uganda Premier League Young Player of the Season.
Players like Bobosi Byaruhanga (MVP 2021) and Mohammed Shaban (MVP 2016) are living examples.
It's a call for current footballers and athletes to set goals and work towards achieving them, commit to improving, and, thus, inspire others.
A round of applause to all Uganda football stakeholders, including the journalists, UPL secretariat, FUFA, fans, sponsors, and players, for doing the most to lift Ugandan football.
Like the players and coaches, I look forward to this year's end-of-season awards event.
