The budget was approved during the club's first Annual General Meeting (AGM), held on Friday at the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo, in line with the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) Club Licensing Regulations.
The meeting brought together the club's board, management, stakeholders and FUFA officials to consider governance, financial and operational matters, while also adopting the club's statutes.
Under FUFA's club licensing requirements, top-flight clubs must hold annual general meetings to approve governance structures, financial plans and operational priorities before they are licensed to compete.
Members unanimously passed the Shs6.3 billion budget for the 2026/27 financial year and endorsed the club's statutory framework, moves officials said would strengthen accountability and institutional governance.
KCCA Deputy Executive Director Benon Kigenyi described the AGM as a significant milestone for the Authority-owned club as it works to rebuild both on and off the pitch.
"We want to build a club that makes Kampala proud and consistently wins trophies," Kigenyi said.
He thanked the government for financing the ongoing redevelopment of MTN Omondi Stadium, saying construction has progressed to its second phase.
Kigenyi said the club's next priority is to mobilise resources for Phase Three of the redevelopment, which will include installing spectator seats, constructing a modern gymnasium, adding lifts, creating a third stadium entrance and acquiring a team bus.
"We need additional resources to complete the remaining structures, furnish the stadium and make it a modern sports facility," Kigenyi said. "Our responsibility as the board is to mobilise resources and build a club that makes Kampala proud by competing for and winning trophies."
The renewed focus on governance and infrastructure comes as the 13-time Uganda Premier League champions seek to end a prolonged spell without major honours.
KCCA finished second in the 2025/26 Uganda Premier League with 62 points and exited the Stanbic Uganda Cup at the quarter-final stage after losing to URA FC. The club has not won a major trophy since 2019.
Kampala Lord Mayor Ronald Balimwezo Nsubuga, who serves as the club's patron, challenged the management and technical team to restore KCCA's competitive edge.
"Management and the technical team must leave no stone unturned, from recruitment to sports science, to restore our competitive edge," Balimwezo said.
He also pledged to use his office to strengthen the club's brand and grow its fan base.
"I will use my influence and office to grow the KCCA FC brand because I want to see football continue to grow in Kampala," he said.
Representing FUFA, Ronnie Kalema commended KCCA FC for complying with the federation's club licensing requirements, describing the AGM as a demonstration of the club's commitment to improved governance and professionalism.
With one of the mandatory licensing requirements now fulfilled, KCCA FC will turn its attention to preparations for the 2026/27 Uganda Premier League season, hoping that stronger governance, infrastructure improvements and changes to the playing squad will help deliver the club's first major trophy in seven years.
