Siwu Michael also known as Baggio (born 13 August 1997) is a Ugandan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for FUFA Big League club Blacks Power Football Club (formerly Bukedea Town Council FC), in Bukedea, Eastern Uganda.
Born in Sironko, Siwu started his career in 2013 at Bukedea Central FC playing in the Regional League and in 2015 he signed his first ever professional contract with Bukedea Town Council FC (now Blacks Power FC).
He was among the several players signed by the Bukedea based side as a reinforcement when the team got promoted to the Big League.
Siwu who doubles as the deputy captain of the club has cemented his name in the Big League scoring several goals and making remarkable assists.
Due to his work rate and goal scoring record, ‘Baggio’ as he prefers to be called, has attracted the interest of several Premier League clubs including BUL FC, Express FC, URA FC, Police FC and KCCA.
In the current 2020-21 season, he has scored 8 goals and made 3 assists making him a joint league top scorer.
He has scored crucial freekick goals in the league making him one of the best free kick takers in the country.
His ambition is to guide the team to the first-ever Uganda Premier League qualification and playing for the Uganda Cranes.
It should also be noted that Baggio is a darling in Sironko as he is the captain of Halasi Clan that plays the Bikuuka (Clans) tournament. The tournament was initiated in 2017 by the late Sir Bob Mushikori’s reign as Umukuuka.
The competition was designed to happen once every two years (odd years to accommodate the Imbalu circumcision ceremony every even year).
Baggio as captain lifted the inaugural trophy for Halasi Clan. In the last edition (2019), Siu captained Halasi to the final. He was voted the tournament MVP despite losing on the final on penalties after a 2-2 stalemate with Mukonde Clan.
