BUL FC has officially announced a significant squad overhaul ahead of the 2026/27 season, confirming the departure of a number of first-team players following the expiration of their contracts.
The move comes after an extensive assessment of the team’s performance and future direction, with management opting against extending the deals of more than ten players as preparations begin for a new chapter.
Among those set to leave are Ibrahim Orit, Fredrick Ngalo, Bakali Magumda, Viane Sekajugo, Thomas Ochungo, Jeromy Kirya, Nicholas Mwere, Julius Barasa, Isaac Wagoina and Karim Ndugwa.
The departures signal the start of a broader restructuring process aimed at reshaping the squad and aligning it with the club’s long-term ambitions. Club officials believe the changes will create room for younger talents to emerge while helping establish a more competitive team capable of challenging for top honours in the upcoming Uganda Premier League campaign.

In a statement released by the club, management explained the rationale behind the decision.
“Following a thorough end-of-season review, the club confirms that all players whose contracts have expired this summer will not be renewed ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. Over ten players whose agreements came to an end will move on as we begin a new cycle.”
“This decision is part of our long-term vision to refresh the squad, invest in emerging talent from our development structures, and build a team ready to compete at the highest level in the Uganda Premier League.”
The club is expected to unveil further plans regarding new arrivals and promotions from its development ranks in the coming weeks as preparations intensify for the new season.
