Hassan Mubiru: Azam FC linked with move for SC Villa and Uganda winger

Ugandan right winger Hassan Mubiru of SC Villa Jogoo is being linked with a move to Tanzanian side Azam FC, with the 21-year-olds future under scrutiny despite no confirmed contract expiry date at his current club.

The rumour, logged on 5 July 2026, suggests Azam are monitoring Mubiru after a sharp rise in his valuation in the Uganda Premier League. Transfermarkt lists his current market value at 175,000 (175k), up from 150,000 in January, underlining his growing status at Villa following his switch from Kampala Capital City Authority FC in July 2024.

Mubiru, who is listed at 1.75m and operates primarily as an attacking right winger, has emerged as one of the more intriguing talents in Ugandan domestic football. Any deal for the Ugandan national would likely be structured around that 175k benchmark, although there is no indication yet of whether Villa would consider a sale or risk running down his deal towards a potential free-agent scenario.

The Kampala-born player, who wears number 26 for Villa, has spent his entire professional career in Uganda so far, featuring for KCCA before his move to the record champions. The latest update to his market value on 19 June 2026 reflects his progress since joining SC Villa Jogoo for an undisclosed fee during the 2024-25 season.

The probability of the transfer is currently listed as ?, underlining that talks are at an exploratory stage rather than an advanced negotiation. No agreement over a fee or personal terms has been reported, and neither club has confirmed formal discussions.

If the move to Azam FC materialises, a step into Tanzanian club football at 21 would mark a significant test of Mubirus development and could be a key moment in shaping his regional reputation and long-term career trajectory.
