June was a remarkable month for sports, and Real Stars Sports Agency, in collaboration with Fortebet Uganda and Jude Colour Solutions, honored the month’s top performers with a special awards ceremony.

Lifetime Achievers Legendary Award

Recipient: Mukwenda Godfrey Mbalire

• Achievements: Mukwenda Godfrey Mbalire has been a dedicated contributor to the sports industry since the early 2000s. His notable recognition began in 2006 with his involvement in Ssingo Ssaza football management. Serving as Secretary, Treasurer, and later Chairman, he was recognized by the Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi, who appointed him to the Masaza Cup organizing committee. Under his leadership, Ssingo Ssaza built their ground and organized the pivotal 2012 Masaza Cup final. Mbalire led Ssingo to their first Masaza Cup trophy in 2015, and his influence extended to other teams, including Buddu in recent years.
• Acceptance Speech: “It’s a pleasure for me to be recognized. Real Star Sports Agency, you look from afar. I accept this award, but I have to thank the Kabaka of Buganda for the opportunity he gave me. Without that opportunity, I wouldn’t be here deserving this recognition.”
