2025 Deaf Week Cup: Bright Stars Deaf FC light up Mbarara

Bright Stars Deaf FC—fresh off winning the National Deaf Challenge Cup—took the pitch in a showcase friendly against the Mbarara University (MUST) hearing team, in partnership with the Uganda Deaf Football Association (UDFA). The goal: recognize elite Deaf talent and prove (again) that the beautiful game needs no interpreter.

Final score: Bright Stars Deaf FC [X]–[Y] Mbarara University (MUST)

From crisp build-ups to breakaway sprints, the match delivered end-to-end football and a clear message: when access is in place, talent does the talking. Big thanks to UDFA and our hosts for a spirited fixture that turned awareness into applause.
