What Have BUL FC Won?

BUL's honours run from a regional title to a national cup.

BUL entered the 2022 Confederation Cup at the preliminary round and were drawn against Future FC of Egypt, who went through to the next stage.

From Company Team to the Uganda Premier League: The History in Brief

BUL grew from company football to the national league in a handful of seasons. The club began in 2006-07 as departmental competitions inside BIDCO Uganda Limited, with 1 January 2007 given as the founding date, and won the Jinja Division One title in 2007-08. The step up came in 2011, when BUL debuted in the FUFA Super League, and in 2011-12 they finished 13th of 16 clubs. For a club so new to the top tier, staying there was a fair return, and it gave BUL the platform the later cup run was built on.

The modern chapter includes Arthur Kyesimira, a former Uganda Cranes left winger, who was appointed head coach in January 2020 and was in charge for the 2020-21 season. The Uganda Cup followed in 2021-22 and the CAF debut in 2022, while the junior team was collecting league titles across the same years. In 2025-26, the 58th season of the Uganda Premier League, scheduled to run from 26 September 2025 to 23 May 2026, BUL finished 9th. For this season and beyond, the table, results and squad modules carry the story as it happens, and the history stays fixed.

Where Is Jinja, and Where Do BUL Play at Home?

Jinja sits east of Kampala on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, at the point where the Nile leaves the lake, and it is the largest urban centre of the Busoga sub-region in Uganda's Eastern Region. It lies on the main road from Kampala towards the Kenyan border. Nairobi and Jinja share East Africa Time. For a reader in Lagos or Accra, picture an industrial river city a short drive from the capital, close enough for city fans to travel and proud of its own name. That mix of factory history and lakeside setting suits a club born inside a company.

The clear answer on home ground is that BUL are a Jinja club, and the venue printed against each match in the fixtures module is the one to trust. The public record does not settle on a single ground. Bugembe, on the edge of Jinja, and Kakindu in Jinja are both named as home venues in different places, and the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru, across the Nile from Jinja, is where the junior team plays and where junior finals have been staged. So, before you travel, check the venue line on the fixture itself rather than relying on any one listing, because home venues can change from one season to the next.

Check the country viewing data for available coverage. Where to watch in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Ghana is set out in the country data on the site rather than promised in writing, since rights change between seasons. Use the fixture date and venue alongside the coverage details when planning how to follow BUL.

BUL Junior Team and Its FUFA Juniors League Titles

The BUL junior team was formed in 2015 after FUFA made junior sides compulsory for top flight clubs, and they play at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru. They won their first FUFA Juniors League title in 2018-19 with a final win over the KCCA academy. The second came in 2022-23, when they finished level on points with the KCCA academy and took the title on goal difference, and a third followed in 2023-24 with a 1-0 win over the same opponents in the final at Njeru. Meeting KCCA for silverware again and again has made this the junior rivalry worth following in Uganda, and it is where the next senior names usually appear first.

Which BUL Games Matter Most, and What Time Do They Start?

The biggest BUL games are the ones with silverware or a CAF place attached, which means Uganda Cup ties and the league matches near the top of the table. Any meeting with Vipers SC carries extra weight because of the 2021-22 cup final, and games against KCCA carry an echo of the junior finals, where the two academies have met for titles. For a reader outside Uganda, BUL's Uganda Cup victory in 2021-22 connects domestic silverware with their Confederation Cup debut in 2022.

Every BUL start time in the fixtures module is given in East Africa Time first. To convert, subtract one hour for SAST in Johannesburg, two hours for WAT in Lagos and three hours for GMT in Accra, while Nairobi and Kampala share the same clock as Jinja. A 7pm EAT start would therefore be 6pm SAST, 5pm WAT and 4pm GMT, which suits an after work listen across the region. None of these zones uses daylight saving, so the gap holds all year, and once you have done the sum for one match it works for every other.
