Sunday’s Match Day 7 of the SMACK League at Legends Rugby Grounds in Naguru – Kampala was nothing short of spectacular, blending intense football action with captivating musical performances.
Hosted by Pirates Class of 2012 and Tsunamiz Class of 2010, the event saw 22 teams go head-to-head under the theme “Sip on the Tide,” delivering a perfect mix of sports and entertainment.
Kicking off the festivities, Lilian Mbabazi and her band set the mood with soulful performances of hits like “Love Letter,” “Dagala,” and “Kawa.”
