BUSARU, BUNDIBUGYO – In the heart of Nyakakindo Parish in Busaru Sub county, football is more than just a weekend pastime; it is a storied tradition. At the center of that tradition stands one man who has become synonymous with the colors of Nyakakindo Young Blood FC (NYBFC).
Ngambeki Richard, known affectionately by the home crowd as “Auwenene,” has officially cemented his status as the club’s all-time appearance leader. Since joining the side 11 years ago, the Muhanda clan native has evolved from a promising talent into the undisputed heartbeat of the squad.
Ngambeki Richard’s Legacy in Numbers
At 28 years old, Richard is currently playing the best football of his career. Operating from his signature Attacking Midfielder role, he has donned the Number 8 shirt with a level of consistency rarely seen in regional football.
His statistical footprint on the pitch is staggering:
- Appearances: 268
- Goals: 42
- Assists: 75
- Total Goal Contributions: 117
Since taking over the Team Captain armband in 2019, Richard has led the club through its most decorated era, bridging the gap between young prospects and seasoned veterans.
The Ultimate Rewards of Ngambeki Richard
Auwenene’s tenure has been defined by silverware. His trophy cabinet is a map of the club’s success across Busaru Sub-county and the wider Bundibugyo District.
Most notably, he led NYBFC to back-to-back in the 5Guys Onlife Trophy titles (Seasons 1 and 2) and secured victories in high-stakes matches like the Busaru X-mass Cup and the Mwomiya Memorial Cup.
Perhaps his most “legendary” feats include the two Vaa Kumbuzi victories against rivals Mamba Boys—matches where local pride and the ultimate prize were on the line.
- 1 🏆Busaru X-mass cup season one (v Mulongo boys)
- 2 🐐🐐Vaa Kumbuzi (v Mamba Boys, one title shared due to a serious injury which occurred to a goal keeper in the final)

The local fan base in his locality says:
“He isn’t just a playmaker; he’s a leader who understands the weight of the shirt and the armband.”
Individual Brilliance of Richard Auwenene
While football is a team sport, Richard’s individual accolades set him apart. He was a Player of the Tournament nominee in the Mwomiya memorial cup as far back as 2016.
In addition to that, his longevity was recently validated at the Onlife Trophy 2025 (4th Edition) organised by the 5Guys Shop Nyahuka, where he was officially named the Best Midfielder.
From the West Rwenzori Diocese Anniversary Trophy to the recent Kinyante Focus Tournament Shield, Ngambeki Richard remains the gold standard for NYBFC.
Captain Ngambeki Richard and his Club have opted not to participate in District FUFA associated leagues according to reasons best known to the Club. But as an individual, he can be open to the sports market. Chat with 5Guys Shop Contacts or WhatsApp
As he continues his eleventh year with the Young Blood, the “Auwenene” era shows no signs of slowing down.
