Matchday 10 delivered a decisive round of six fixtures, setting the tone for a crucial finish to the end of the first round. A tantalizing title race has arrived as we approach the halfway point of the season. Only two points separate the top two after Makerere beat Kawempe as the sharks won again.

Here is the full round-up of the weekend’s action.

Makerere University WFC brings Kawempe’s unbeaten run to an end.

Makerere university WFC delivered one of their most complete performances of the season to hand Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC their first defeat of the season, winning 2-0 in a tightly contested encounter.

From outset, Makerere signaled their intent with a compact defensive shape anchored by Captain Josephine Ndagire denying the warriors early rhythm, something the hosts rarely struggle with at home. While kawempe created many of their own problems in the first half. You simply have to give credit to Makerere too, they were organized, well drilled and willing to press and hassle the warriors into errors.

When the moment came, Nankya Rashida struck in the 19^th minute from a defensive scramble to spark jubilant scenes to the away dug out, four minutes later, Captain Josephine Ndagire doubled the visitors lead to ensure a 2-0 advantage at the break.

As the game transpired, kawempe increased their tempo after the break, pushing higher and committing numbers forward but the visitor’s ability to absorb pressure was key. Their midfield shape remained compact, preventing the host’s dangerous players from operating between the lines. Fred Ndawula will be much happier with the woman of the match Grace Nassande who pulled off outstanding saves when the warriors applied more pressure and the team’s defensive unit, as the full backs closed spaces quickly and the center-halves dominating aerial duels to ensure a well-deserved victory.

The full-time scenes left the warriors frustrated but Fred’s side will deeply take much pride for inflicting the first defeat to the league leaders.

 She Corporate FC edge a five-goal thriller as Olila’s late fight back falls short.

She corporate FC survived a late scare to defeat Olila H/S WFC 3-2 in a dramatic encounter at FUFA TC, Njeru. The sharks scoring spree continued as they notched three goals in two successive games, securing a third straight victory for Bayles’s side leaving them just two points off the top spot.

League top scorer Jesca Namanda kept up her fine scoring form, netting her 8^th goal of the season giving the sharks a well-deserved lead in the 16^th minute. Despite Olila settling into the game as the half progressed, the sharks maintained their advantage.

The second half saw the hosts regain the initiative, as Hairat Babirye doubled the lead in the 74^th minute, capitalizing on sustained pressure in the final third.

However, the visitors responded immediately, Brenda Atwani struck twice in quick succession to drag Olila back into the contest. Woman of the match Sandra Kisakye who was a creative menace throughout the game stole the show with a stoppage time winner to ultimately seal a crucial victory.

Kampala Queens suffer another setback with a draw against Amus College.

Kampala Queens needed a penalty midway through the second half to salvage a 1-1 draw with Amus College WFC at Amus College Stadium.

Catherine Nagadya calmly scored from the spot five minutes after the half-hour mark, Edinah Nasipwondi had earlier put the hosts into a much-deserved lead in the 35^th minute.

The opening half was dominated by the hosts, as the Queens produced little to trouble the hosts. Firew must be increasingly concerned by his defense in recent weeks. Once again Marion struggled to deal with an aerial ball, allowing Esther Namataka to pounce and slip a pass through to Edinah, who finished clinically past Sharon Kaidu to mark her sixth goal of the season.

In the second half, Precious Phiri replaced Marrion giving the queens renewed defensive stability and added attacking intent. The change paid off in the 65^th minute when muduwa was brought down in the box, and Nagadya calmly converted the resulting penalty. In truth, the Queens should have wrapped up the victory, but lack of composure in front of goal proved costly.

Lady Doves, Uganda Martyrs return to winning ways with big margins.

Uganda Martyrs secured a commanding 4-0 victory over Asubo Ladies FC at Kampala Quality Ground. Kiiza Maureen opened the scoring, with Auki Kigongo adding a second to give the visitors a firm grip on the match. Nusulah Nakintu extended the lead before Nabowa Shallon completed the scoring.  The hosts struggled to contain the visitor’s organized build-up and attacking movement, while Uganda Martyrs maintained control throughout the encounter.

 At Katusabe Ground in Masindi, Lady Doves produced a confident display on home turf, easing past Rines SS with a 4-0 victory. Sumaya Nsisi opened the scoring inside the first minute, setting the tone for a standout performance in which she netted twice. Cecelia Apiding added the other goal, before Resty Kobusobozi sealed the result with a composed finish. The visitors struggled to cope with the believer’s tempo and efficiency in the final third, as the hosts managed the game effectively from start to finish. The result provides Lady Doves with a much-needed boost after a run of unconvincing results. Sumaya Nsisi was named woman of the match.

Meanwhile at Prison Ground, She Maroons FC’s impressive home run continued with a 2-0 victory against St Noa Girls-Zana FC, lifting them into fourth place on the table. The hosts took a lead when a defensive mix-up resulted in Nancy Mandera turning the ball into her own net. The hosts continued to apply pressure, and their persistence paid off when woman of the match Lillian Kasuubo profited from a set piece to seal a crucial victory.

The penultimate match-week of the first round of the 2025/2026 season is scheduled to take place this weekend. The inaugural phase has delivered intriguing action, but the final phase promises even more excitement, with teams battling for crucial points. Six fixtures are spread across two days, with two matches on Saturday and four encounters on Sunday.

On Saturday, She Maroons FC host St Noa Girls-Zana FC while She Corporate FC welcome Olila H/S WFC.

She Corporate FC will aim to keep their rivals and league leaders, Kawempe Muslim Ladies in sight when they welcome Olila H/S WFC to FUFA TC, Njeru, aiming to capitalize on home advantage and gain valuable ground in the standings.  The title chasers come into this fixture with momentum and hope after stunning reigning champions Kampala Queens last time out, the sharks have rediscovered their form that defined their strong opening rounds. Gillian’s return to the midfield has transformed the sharks, injecting creativity and control into their game, right back Rebecca Nandhego is also providing attacking width and forward momentum, Jesca Namanda is seizing her opportunities. However, visitors Olila will be geared towards frustrating the sharks at every turn, with key players Mary Lotyang and Grace Aluka poised to exploit spaces and create chances in the final third. The hosts might have an upper hand but Olila will definitely give them a run for their money, they’ll be a tough opponent.

 At Prison Ground, Luzira, She Maroons FC with a strong home record will be looking to capitalize on their favorite status, led by Lillian Kasuubo, who has been impressive in the first round to pick maximum points against St Noa Girls-Zana FC who are dealing with the aftermath of a dugout change having parted ways with Tonny Mawejje in the midweek, which could either fire them up or throw them off their game – it will be interesting to see how they respond.

On Sunday, Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC host Makerere University WFC, Kampala Queens FC travel East to face Amus College WFC, Asubo Ladies FC take on Uganda Martyrs WFC while Lady Doves FC welcome Rines SS WFC.

 League leaders Kawempe Muslim Ladies will aim to extend their unbeaten run when they host Makerere University WFC at Kawempe Muslim SS Ground. The warriors have won eight consecutive games, a truly extraordinary run that has put them five points clear at the top of the table. But beyond results, they have been brilliant to watch, they are winning in a fashion that provides a huge lift for everyone connected with the club. The warriors are notably looking sharper in all departments but the presence of Krusum Namutebi has given Kawempe industrious energy and allowed the team to dominate midfield battles while making room for Dorcus Kisakye to operate swiftly in tight spaces to break low blocks. This will be crucial for the warriors again, as Makerere will likely employ a physical approach to frustrate their rhythm. Former warriors Halima Kampi and Allen Nassazi will be looking to make a statement against their old team, which could give Makerere a much-needed boost and add an extra layer of intensity to the matchup. A win for the warriors will secure their position as table leaders at the end of the first round.

 At Amus College Stadium, Amus College WFC’s home form will get another test as they host defending champions Kampala Queens FC, buoyed by the return of Shayline Opisa from international duty with Harambe Starlets. Coach Frank Anyau’s tactics of a stubborn low block could potentially make this game a banana skin for the Queens who are currently experiencing a tough run, having suffered back-to-back defeats. Firew is struggling to create a tactical set up that allows his side to build from the back, however, his immediate task is to restore the energy and confidence levels of the queens, ensuring the recent setbacks don’t get into their heads ahead of this crucial encounter. The Queens wide forwards have been in top form and could be boasted by the return of Kamiyati Naigaga from injury, but last week’s result at Lugogo provided evidence about their defensive frailties but also showcased their abilities to create chances and score goals. To take points against Amus, they will have to address their defensive vulnerabilities and be more clinical in front of goal.  A win by any means will be essential, should they fail to take points from this game, the queens morale could face a serious hit.

Meanwhile, Lady Doves FC will look to stabilize their campaign with a home fixture against Rines SS WFC at Katusabe Ground. The believers biggest undoing has been the failure to leverage their home advantage, a factor they strongly capitalized on in the recent seasons for success, another concern is their reliance on Resty, who’s scored six of their nine goals this season, highlighting the need to diversify their scoring options. They face an ambitious side, that plays with a direct and relentless style, and keenly focused on gathering vital points to distance themselves from the relegation zone.  It’s another tough test for Lady Doves, but home advantage could be the deciding factor.

Elsewhere, the match between Asubo Ladies FC and Uganda Martyrs H/S WFC promises to be a closely contested affair, with both teams seeking to secure vital points to bolster their position and distance themselves from the drop zone. While Asubo Ladies FC is expected to be formidable on home soil, the visitor’s energetic and youthful squad presents a significant challenge making them tough opponents. This promises to be a tight contest.

That environment naturally fostered my interest in football at an early age. I began playing in primary school, then joined Progressive SS Kawanda, where I was scouted by Luweero Giant Queens. My career then progressed to Rines SS WFC, followed by a brief stint at Fountain Gates in Tanzania, prior to joining my current club, She Corporate FC.

FUFA COMM: To whom do you attribute your inspiration in your career thus far, and how have they influenced your journey?

JESCA: My family is a constant source of inspiration to me; their unwavering support means everything to me. Additionally, I’m also deeply grateful to Coach Edward Lugoloobi who played a huge role in my career. He introduced me to women’s football and helped me to join Luweero Giant Queens. Am so grateful for their guidance and mentorship.

FUFA COMM: Who is your football idol and which player would you love to share the pitch with?

JESCA:  I am a great admirer of Man United WFC striker, Melvine Malard, as she possesses exceptional skills and qualities that make her a remarkable player.

Additionally, I have always been impressed by Phiona Nabbumba’s performance on the pitch, particularly her ability to effectively distribute the ball to teammates. it would be a great experience to share the pitch with her.

I extend my gratitude to the club chairman, Mr. kaweere Richard for fostering a productive and supportive environment.

FUFA COMM: What is the best moment of your career to date?

JESCA: The hat-trick I scored against Kampala Queens remains one of my notable achievements to date. Given the team’s stature and strength, scoring three goals against them was a significant accomplishment, it’s a challenging task that few players have managed to achieve.

FUFA COMM: What is your favorite goal you’ve scored so far, and what made it so special?

Secondly, I strive to become the top scorer, I currently lead the scoring chart, which motivates me to intensify my efforts. My ultimate goal, however, is to lead my team to league victory this season – it’s a team effort, and I’m committed to giving in my all.

FUFA COMM: What do you like to do in your free time, and how do you relax away from football?

JESCA: Football is an integral part of my leisure activities, and I devote a significant portion of my free time to watching matches and viewing footage of prominent strikers.

 JESCA: To all young girls out there, put in the hard work, have faith in your abilities and stay disciplined. If you stick to these principles, football can be a game-changer in your life.

We look back on a thrilling weekend that featured huge wins for Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC, She Corporate FC including Jesca Namanda’s hat-trick and four stalemates.

Here is the full round-up of the weekend’s action.

Jesca Namanda’s hat-trick stuns Kampala Queens.

Lethal forward Jesca Namanda was the hero as She Corporate FC produced an inspired performance to stun champions Kamapala Queens FC  3-2 in a five-goal thriller at MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo. Jesca’s second-half hattrick handed Kampala Queens their first home defeat of the season.

In the build-up to the game, there was a notable rivalry between the two sides, and the game certainly lived to the billing. Kampala Queens head coach Firew Asefa implemented adjustments to the defensive shape, deploying Marrion Amangat in a central partnership with Esther Namusoke, while Captain Shakira Nankwanga assumed a role of shielding the defense. This tactical setup effectively meant that the queens began the match with a five-player defense line, a strategy evident throughout the first half, as the visitors dominated more possession and posed the greater attacking threat despite both teams creating limited scoring opportunities.

In the second half, similar to the previous encounter, the queens lack of defensive cohesion proved costly, with the sharks’ forwards expertly exploiting these lapses. Their pressing strategy disrupted the hosts attempts to build from the back, gifting the visitors two quick goals after the restart. Jesca Namanda opened the scoring in the 46^th minute and scored a penalty six minutes later. Marrion pulled one back for the hosts, but Jesca quickly responded to restore the two-goal cushion. Kampala queens gave themselves hope six minutes past the hour-mark, Catherine Nagadya scored and mounted a more pronounced attacking threat pushing hard for an equalizer, but the sharks defense held firm, securing a 3-2 win.

The result gave She Corporate an enormous psychological lift in their title ambitions, while Firew Asefa’s side would not have been preparing for back-to-back defeats after making an impressive start to the campaign. Firew needs to find a way to raise the team’s energy levels to reignite their form in the final two first round fixtures.

What the coaches said:

‘I give credit to the opponents; they were more determined. we will review our performance and make the necessary adjustments,’ Sharon Kizza – Kampala Queens FC.

‘At half time, we identified the opponent’s tactic of building from the back, with countered this with more pressing, we scored three goals and secured important three points,’ Pande Cifu – She Corporate FC.

Dorcus Kisakye stars as Kawempe ease past Asubo Ladies.

Kawempe Muslim Ladies reinforced their solid campaign with a 3-0 victory against Asubo Ladies FC at St Mary’s Stadium, kitende. Agnes Nabukenya, Dorcus Kisakye and Asia Nakibuuka each scored a goal, securing the warriors 8^th consecutive victory and maintaining their unbeaten record this season.

The warriors started brightly, as an already difficult task for Asubo ladies became tougher two minutes in, Agnes Nabukenya curled a powerful freekick past goalkeeper Olga Lukia to set the tone of proceedings. Asubo Ladies implemented a game plan aimed at frustrating the warriors, to which the latter responded by controlling possession and kept looking for openings. In truth, kawempe Muslim should have gone into half-time with more than one goal to the good, but Agnes Nabukenya’s failure to convert a penalty midway through the first half and the attacking unit’s wasted chances precluded this.

During the second half, the warriors dominance continued, with the visitors having limited time on the ball, woman of the match Dorcus Kisakye who has already endeared herself to the warriors fans since winning a spot in the starting XI this season cemented her place in their hearts with a precise finish from a brilliant team move to double the warriors lead in the 75^th minute,  two minutes later, Asia Nakibuuka sealed the 3-0 win for the hosts, lobbing the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper off Samalie’s brilliant pass. The result laid a significant marker as the title race takes shape. It’s a long run but the talk is likely turning to kawempe to win the title.

Four fixtures end in stalemates.

At Makerere University ground, Resty Kobusobozi scored her sixth goal of the season, giving Lady Doves FC a 1-0 halftime lead. However, Halima Kampi scored a penalty in the second half, rescuing a point for the home team, Makerere University WFC. The match was marked by limited chances, with both teams opting for long balls and creating few scoring opportunities. The believers star player Resty Kobusobozi was named the woman of the match.

Meanwhile, Rines SS WFC salvaged a point in stoppage time, scoring the equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Amus College WFC at Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium. Esther Namataka had given the visitors the lead at halftime with a precise finish, but Prossy Akasa’s late goal denied them the third straight win. Amus College captain Tamisi Shafiga was named woman of the match.

 Olila H/S WFC and She Maroons FC settled for a 1-1 draw at Olila Ground in soroti. The visitors took an early lead through Lillian Kasuubo’s impressive spot kick, but the hosts quickly equalized through Atwani Brenda, and the teams went into half time at a deadlock. The second half was a highly contested affair, but neither team could find the breakthrough, the score remained unchanged. Ayuro Daphine of Olila was named woman of the match.

Meanwhile, the match between St Noa Girls-Zana FC and Uganda Martyrs H/S WFC at Muteesa II Stadium ended in a goalless draw. The result highlighted the Lubaga based side resilient performance, securing a draw against an opponent that had demonstrated strong from in their preceding two matches. Angel Auki Kigongo was named the Woman of the match.

The U-17 Uganda Women’s National Football Team has officially concluded a five-day training camp on Wednesday November 26, 2025 at FUFA TC, Njeru.

The players underwent technical assessments led by Head Coach Sheryl Ulanda Botes, in preparation for the January 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Qualifiers.

The head coach expressed delight about the camp, as a great opportunity to learn new ideas together as well as team bonding.

The first round of the 2025-2026 is entering its climax. Matchday 9 is shaping up to be a pivotal moment, with teams and players pushing to hit their targets. Six fixtures are spread across the weekend, with four matches on Saturday and two on Sunday.

On Saturday, Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC host Asubo Ladies FC, Makerere University WFC welcome Lady Doves FC, Rines SS FC take on Amus College WFC while Olila H/S WFC entertain She Maroons FC.

League leaders Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC will aim to extend their impressive seven-game winning streak when they host Asubo Ladies FC at St Mary’s Stadium Kitende, hoping to maintain their unbeaten run in the league. Historically, this fixture has been challenging for the warriors, but timing is on their side – they are riding high on confidence, while the visitors form has been concerning in the recent weeks.

Asubo ladies gameplan will likely involve sitting deep to frustrate the hosts, but the warriors have been brilliant in finding pockets of space this season. Dorcus Kisakye will be crucial, using her skills to navigate tight spaces and unlock the visitors defense, while Asubo Ladies will be counting on their historical advantage to pull off a surprise.  

At Makerere University Ground, Makerere University WFC hosts Lady Doves FC aiming to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat. After mixed campaigns, the home side will rely on individual brilliance from Josephine Ndagire, Allen Nassazi and Kampi Halima to secure a crucial win. Lady Doves, on the other hand will aim to revive their season but they will need to fix their issues on the road. Resty Kobusozi’s impressive form will be crucial for the believers, offering a glimmer of hope as they look upset Makerere in their own backyard.  

Rines SS WFC will hope to reignite their wining form at home against Amus College WFC at Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium, aiming to get back on track after a recent setback. With their direct football being a big threat at home, they will be hoping to get the desired result.  But that won’t come easy, as they are facing a side that is in fine form and flying high after Edina’s hat-trick heroics last weekend­ – their swift counter attacks will be a major threat to the hosts.

Still on Saturday, She Maroons FC will make a long trip to soroti to face Olila H/S WFC at Olila Ground.  The hosts find themselves in a tough zone, still searching for that elusive win. However, at home, they are always a threat and they will be relying on Captain Mary Lotyang to revive their season. However, the visitors are riding high after that convincing win over the defending Champions last weekend, momentum is on their side and they are looking strong. Maxwell Okello’s side will hope to get the job done in the process of beginning a journey to lift them to the top positions.

Matchday nine will conclude on Sunday with two fixtures, Kampala Queens FC host She Corporate FC while St Noa Girls-Zana FC welcome Uganda Martyrs H/S WFC

At MTN Omondi Stadium, two rivals will swing at each other when Kampala Queens FC host She Corporate FC in an epic clash.  A notable rivalry has developed between the two teams since 2021, when She Corporate secured the league title ahead of Kampala Queens on goal difference. Since then, this fixture has garnered significant attention. Both teams enter this fixture tied on 17 points with the home side above. A win in such a highly -pressured match will provide an enormous psychological lift in the title race for either side.

The hosts have been formidable at home, having secured maximum points from all their home fixtures this season, they are likely to miss the services of the league top scorer, Kamiyati Naigaga, who suffered an injury in the recent weeks but with the return of winger Catherine Nagadya, who missed the previous match due to suspension, the queens will be looking to leverage their home advantage and the pace of their attacking unit to secure a favorable outcome.

Meanwhile, whereas, there has been questions of lack of intent and attacking flair from the sharks in big games. In the previous game, long balls, aerial challenges, speed to second balls and highline defending caused Kampala queens all sorts of problems, the sharks will be more than happy to target these flaws. The attacking trio of Jesca Namanda, Sandra Kisakye and Rebecca Nakato will be crucial in She Corporates bid to take points from this match. With both teams evenly matched, this fixture promises to be a highly contested encounter.

Elsewhere, St Noa Girls-Zana FC will be looking to extend their winning streak to three games as they host Uganda Martyrs H/S WFC at Muteesa II stadium. The hosts have been formidable in the previous two games, garnering maximum points with two clean sheets.  Its up to Tonny Mawejje to show that St Noa can make good use of their recent form, a win will be crucial for them to secure a top-four finish ahead of the final two matches in the first round.

Uganda Martyrs on the other hand have showed glimpses of promise, but inconsistency has been an issue. If they can solidify their defense and capitalize on scoring opportunities, they could definitely pull off a surprise.
