Onduparaka FC’s road back to the Uganda Premier League has gathered fresh momentum after the club entered into a Fundraising and Social Entertainment Partnership with Fabrica Lounge, strengthening the growing bond between the Caterpillars and the business community.
Under the partnership, Fabrica Lounge will host Onduparaka’s monthly “Ondu Nyts” entertainment event on the last Sunday of every month, with proceeds from the events directed towards supporting the club’s activities and development throughout the 2026/27 season.

But the partnership goes beyond entertainment.
Fabrica Lounge has pledged to support the extension of 10 metres of Onduparaka FC’s outer perimeter fence, while also committing to purchasing Ondu2UPL corporate shirts for all its staff—a gesture that underlines its belief in the club’s ambition to reclaim its place among Uganda’s elite.
For Onduparaka, the partnership represents more than financial support. It is a reminder that the Caterpillars’ comeback is becoming a community affair.
Speaking during the engagement, Onduparaka FC Head of Marketing and Communications Owen Ezaga described the partnership as a sign of renewed belief in the club.
"It means a lot to us. We believe that the local community and businesses still believe Onduparaka FC can reach where it is supposed to be if we are well supported. I therefore call upon more stakeholders and business entities to support us."

The partnership becomes the second major collaboration Onduparaka has unveiled with local business partners, following its earlier partnership with Beri Cottages.
With every new partner, every contribution and every voice behind the club, Onduparaka’s journey back to the UPL is beginning to feel less like a distant ambition and more like a collective mission.
