As part of the activities welcoming new students into the Hekima University College community, a friendly football match was held between the new students and continuing students on Thursday 27th August 2026 at the Ngong Road Football Ground. The match began at approximately 3:30 p.m. and continued for about one and a half hours, concluding at around 5:00 p.m.
The match brought together new and continuing students in a lively and engaging atmosphere. Mapenza Maselechi led the new students, while Wasswa Julius led the continuing students. The new students won the toss before the match began.
In the first half, Ruben Tongotani opened the scoring for the new students, who maintained their lead into the second half. The continuing students responded later in the second half when Albert Gubanja found the equalizer after a period of sustained play. The match subsequently ended in a draw.
Both teams played with enthusiasm, making the match an enjoyable occasion for the students and members of the Hekima community present.
Members of the wider Hekima community also supported the event. Fr. Marcel Uwineza, the Principal, was present, together with HUCSA President Boris Foka and other HUCSA executives.
Beyond the result on the field, the match gave new and continuing students an opportunity to interact, build relationships, and begin the academic year in a spirit of community and fellowship.
