Other second round home games for the Red Eagles will be against Mbarara City on 1^st February 2020, Tooro United (19^th February), URA (25^th February), Wakiso Giants (18^th March), BUL (8^th May), Vipers (13^th May) and finally against Kyetume on 16^th May 2020.

Mutesa II Wankulukuku, the traditional fortress for the Red Eagles has been closed since November 2019 because of the appalling state for the playing surface following torrential rains and a series of other commercial activities that left the ground barren and unplayable.

Express becomes the second club to confirm change of venue following Uganda Revenue Authority (URA)’s switch to the Arena of Visions in Ndejje, Bombo.

Now, Sports Club Villa, Kyetume, Tooro United and Bright Stars are the other clubs that remain to confirm their venues for the second round following issues with their respective home grounds.

Sports Club Villa was sharing Mandela National Stadium with other clubs as Kyetume and URA.

Tooro United used to host their home games in Fort Portal but the venue became unusable because of heavy rains.

In the same vein, Bright Stars shared Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium with Express.
