Khalid Aucho

Khalid Aucho (born 8 August 1993) is a Ugandan professional footballer who plays for Young Africans in the Tanzanian Premier League and the Uganda national team as a defensive midfielder.

Aucho has played football in various clubs, such as Jinja Municipal Council F.C. from 2009 to 2010, Water F.C from Uganda from 2010 to 2012, Simba FC from Uganda, Tusker from Kenya, Gor Mahia from Kenya, and Baroka from the South African Premier Soccer League. He was on the Uganda team that qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 38 years.

Aucho played for Kenya Premier League side Gor Mahia F.C. from 2015 to May 2016. He joined GorMahia from Tusker and was unveiled on 8 January 2015 at Nyayo Stadium. He scored his first goal for GorMahia on 22 March 2015 in the 41st minute against Chemilli Sugars F.C. with GorMahia winning 3–1. Aucho played his last game for GorMahia on 25 May 2016 at Moi Stadium Kisumu against Sofapaka F.C., where he headed in the opener for the Kenyan champions in the sixth minute, with GorMahia finishing the first leg on top of the table having 29 points.

In July 2016, Aucho went on trial at Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen. The move to Aberdeen collapsed, however, after a transfer fee snag between the clubs. After unsuccessful trials in Scotland, Aucho was signed by Baroka F.C. from South Africa at a fee reported to be 200,000 Rands (approximately KSh1.6million).
