Club Background

Kigezi HomeBoyz Football Club (KHB FC) is a professional football club based in Kabale, South Western Uganda in what is historically known as the Kigezi Region. 

The team competes in the StarTimes FUFA Big league, the second tier of Uganda’s professional Football. Nicknamed “The Gorillas”, the club which started as Kabale Sharp FC in 2012, and later changed its name to Kigezi HomeBoyz FC in 2019, hosts its home games at Kabale Municipal Stadium. 

The team owes its roots to a group of boys who used to have a ‘kick-about’ at the Police Barracks Grounds based in Kigongi, Kabale municipality presently a market place. These boys that included Baker Sentongo, Isaac Twesigomwe, Johnson Turinawe, RacMac Ashaba, Davis Muhairwe, Barnet Ampurire, Grant Matsiko, Alex Mandela, & Frank Bukenya, among others were coached by Ian Mugisha with Owen Tuhimbise as the team manager. The team, which was memorably promoted to the FUFA Big league in the 2016/2017 season after winning the western regional playoff, has since consistently been a mainstay in Uganda’s professional football.
