Joseph Benson Ochaya (born 14 December 1993)[2] is a Ugandan professional footballer who plays for Egyptian club Al Mokawloon Al Arab and the Uganda national team as a left back.

Ochaya has played club football for Kampala City Council/Kampala Capital City Authority, Navibank Sài Gòn, Asante Kotoko, and Lusaka Dynamos, TP Mazembe and Al Mokawloon Al Arab.[1]

Club career[edit]

Born in Kampala, Ochaya began his senior career at Kampala City Council.

In November 2012, he moved from Kampala City Council to Ghanaian club Asante Kotoko for a fee reported to be $30,000.[3][4][5] He went on trial with German club SpVgg Greuther Fürth in August 2013.[4] He was the Uganda Premier League 'Most Valuable Player' for the 2015–16 season, while playing for Kampala Capital City Authority.[6] A move to South African club Bidvest Wits in August 2016 fell through.[7]

In March 2017, Ochaya completed his transfer to Zambian club Lusaka Dynamos.[8] In October 2018, he signed with Congolese club TP Mazembe.[9] In September 2022, he joined Egyptian club Al Mokawloon Al Arab.[10]

International career[edit]

Ochaya received his first call-up to the Ugandan national team in September 2012,[5] making his debut later that year.[1] He has appeared in FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.[11] He was a squad member at the 2016 African Nations Championship.[12]
