Savio Kabugo, né le 20 janvier 1995 à Kampala, est un footballeur professionnel ougandais qui joue actuellement pour l'AS Vita Club en Vodacom ligue 1 au Congo. Il est le cousin d'Ivan Bukenya, un footballeur professionnel ougandais qui jouait auparavant pour Kaizer Chiefs dans la Premier League sud-africaine de football. Savio Kabugo était le héros alors que l'Ouganda battait le Ghana 1-0 à Namboole lors d'un match de qualification à la CAN en novembre 2014. Son but en tête a permis de remporter une victoire bien méritée. En plus de cela, il était toujours imposant dans les batailles aériennes, dont beaucoup il a gagné. Utilisant son corps, il était un manmountain pour passer, y compris les plusieurs blocs et plaqués qu'il a gagnés[1]. Après le match de l'Ouganda avec le Togo au stade Namboole, le défenseur Savio Kabugo a reçu un maillot de match et également une paire de bottes d'Emmanuel Adebayor dans le vestiaire des Grues après l'avoir impressionné lors d'un match[2].
