Tanzania’s Azam FC has officially confirmed the signing of Ugandan forward Hassan Mubiru from SC Villa. The striker joins the Ice Cream Makers on a two-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2028.
Mubiru arrives following a strong season with SC Villa, where he established himself as a key attacking threat. His move to Azam FC underscores the growing trend of cross-border player transfers in East African football, with Tanzanian clubs increasingly attracting talent from neighboring Uganda.
The deal marks a significant addition to Azam’s squad as they aim to bolster their offensive options. Mubiru is expected to integrate quickly into the team’s setup and contribute to their campaigns in domestic and regional competitions.
SC Villa, meanwhile, loses one of their standout performers but will look to reinvest in new talent as they prepare for the upcoming season. The transfer highlights the fluid movement of players within the East African football market, reflecting the region’s interconnected football ecosystem.
