Owori captained Uganda Premier League giants Sports Club (SC) Villa, where he featured as both a right-back and midfielder, and also represented the Uganda national team, the Cranes. In a statement, SC Villa described his death as a huge loss to the club. SC Villa spokesperson Asan Kasingye said the incident occurred just outside Owori’s residence in Makindye, a suburb of Kampala. The Uganda national team also paid tribute, saying it had lost a player who “carried the hopes” of the country. Owori returned to SC Villa in 2023 after a two-year stint in Europe and became one of the longest-serving members of the current squad.
