Ugandan Premier League outfit KCCA FC scored in either half to sink Kakamega Homeboyz 2-0 in a pre-season friendly at Philip Omondi Stadium in Kampala on Friday.

The Kasasiro Boys took a deserved lead in the 29th minute when Arafat Usama bundled home a loose ball inside Homeboyz’s dangerzone before Julius Poloto smashed home the winner in the 69th minute to the delight of the fans, who thronged the match venue.

Homeboyz used the pre-season fixture as part of their preparations for their preliminary round first leg fixture of the Caf Confederation Cup against Al Hilal Benghazi of Libya set for August 18 in Nairobi. Abana Baingo earned the ticket to represent Kenya in the continental scene for the first time in their history after defeating Tusker 1-0 in the final of the Mozzart Bet FKF Cup.

The “Smart City” agenda is centered on three pillars; Technology, Infrastructure, and people’s well-being. As cities on the continent continue to grow and face new challenges, initiatives like KCCA’s smart city strategy are becoming increasingly important to ensure sustainable development and improve the lives of urban residents.
