KIGALI, Rwanda — Defending champions Singida Black Stars launched their CECAFA Kagame Cup 2026 campaign in emphatic fashion on Tuesday, overwhelming Mogadishu City Club 4-1 at the Kigali Pelé Stadium.
The Tanzanian side recovered from an early setback to deliver a dominant performance on matchday two of Group B. Mogadishu took the lead through Bangoura N., but Singida responded swiftly. Henry D. equalised and added another, while Mathew Tegisi struck twice as the defending champions ran out comfortable winners.
The result lifts Singida onto three points after their opening 2-0 defeat to Jamus SC. Mogadishu City Club remain on one point following their earlier draw with Simba SC.
Singida’s final Group B fixture will pit them against fellow Tanzanian side Simba SC on 31 July in what is expected to be a decisive clash for qualification.
