Football returned to Uganda's top division in the Kigezi region after a 25-year absence, thanks to Kigezi Homeboyz FC. The club represents Kabale in southwestern Uganda and carries the nickname The Gorillas, a reference to the region's famous wildlife. Its story began with local boys who played informal matches at the Police Barracks Grounds in Kigongi.
The team was established as Kabale Sharp FC in 2012 before adopting the Kigezi Homeboyz name in 2019. Its early players included Baker Sentongo, Isaac Twesigomwe and Johnson Turinawe, with Ian Mugisha responsible for their initial coaching. In the 2016/17 season, the club won the Western Regional playoff and earned promotion to the FUFA Big League. A promising first campaign followed, although the team narrowly missed another promotion despite collecting 42 points.
The biggest breakthrough came in May 2026, when Kigezi secured its first place in the Uganda Premier League. South Sudanese striker Dominic Abonga scored twice against Blacks Power, a result that confirmed the club's historic promotion. The achievement ended a long wait for supporters in Kabale, whose region last enjoyed top-flight football through Horizon FC. That earlier club had played in Uganda's highest division during the 2000/01 season before eventually disappearing from professional football.
Kigezi finished fourth in the 2025/26 FUFA Big League, with 51 points from 30 matches. Its promotion campaign included fourteen victories, nine draws and seven defeats against teams from across Uganda. The club also operates a youth academy that helps local footballers develop their skills and pursue senior opportunities.
