Derrick Kakooza (born 23 October 2002) is a Ugandan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Tërbuni Pukë in Kategoria e Dytë.
Born in Kampala, Kakooza started his career with the Naguru Police Academy, before joining Police Kampala.[3] Having been promoted to the first team with Police, his impressive performances in the 2021 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations linked him with a move to Belgian side Anderlecht.[3][4] His league performances were also good, scoring eight goals in eighteen games across two seasons.[5]
After the move to Anderlecht fell through, Kakooza completed a move to Latvian side Valmiera in early 2022 from Police FC.[6][7]
Having played one game in the Finnish League Cup for KuPS, Kakooza signed for Egyptian side ENPPI in January 2023.[8]
