Aarhus Gymnastikforening has a rich history having now existed for 145 years since the inception year of 1880 with 5 national titles, 9 Danish Cup and 2 Atlantic trophies to boast of. Christened as the “Whites”, they are based in the city of Aarhus, hosting their home matches at the 12,000 seater Vejlby stadium.
Two Uganda teenage footballers James Bogere and Hamuza Ssengooba have signed professional contracts at Danish superliga (topflight entity) Aarhus Gymnastikforening football club.
This duo is from the Masaka based El Cambio Soccer Academy and have been featuring in the third-tier division; Buganda regional league with Masaka Sunshine Football Club.
The two players were part of the Uganda Cubs (national U17) team squad that played at the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar, reaching the round of 16 stage.
Bogere is a proven goal poacher who has wooed many agents and scouts for his ability to take on the opposition as he looks for the back of the net.
His positional sense is spot on with an odd eye to shoot, head the ball and shield as he takes on the defenders with pace.
Bogere is currently with the Uganda Cranes team in Morocco for a training camp in preparation for the prestigious Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 where Uganda is pooled alongside Tunisia, Nigeria and neighbours Tanzania.

Ssengooba, on the other hand is a hard-working ball playing defender, a leader on and off the field of player with awesome game reading antics, timely ball interceptions and tackles as well as strong abilities to head the ball.
“We are proud of our boys and can’t wait to follow them in their careers” El Cambio Academy posted on their official social media pages.
