Charles Lukwago has won back-to-back Ethiopian Premier League titles with St. George.

Uganda Cranes goalkeeper Charles Lukwago was crowned on Saturday as his club St. George FC won the Ethiopian Premier League.

Lukwago was unused in the game, but his team held on to share spoils against Dire Dawa Kenema in the Eastern part of the country.

The Addis Ababa giants went into the final match for formality after accumulating an unassailable 63 points from 29 games.

Lukwago helped the club to break their five-year drought last season after joining the club from KCCA FC in September 2021.

The recent win stretched St. George’s record to 16 titles in the league’s new format that started in 1999.
