Kawempe Muslims’ title defence hopes have almost but faded and will seemingly be playing for pride when they visit table leaders Kampala Queens who have a 9 point advantage with just 3 games to go this Saturday at the MTN Omondi stadium Lugogo. 

Anything less than three points would hand the ‘Queens of Soccer’ their second title in 3 years and seal off Kawempe’s defence remaining with only the FUFA Women’s Cup as hope for silverware.  With 14 wins and 5 draws Kampala Queens are enjoying a having a dream season that may end in an unbeaten run if they were to avoid defeat in their last 3 fixtures (kawempe inclusive) a feat no team has achieved in the league format. 

Olila HS WFC will play against Uganda Martyrs ladies hoping for the best result to improve their chances of playing in the top tier women league next season.

She Maroons hosts 3^rd placed Amus College WFC who want to close gap on 2^nd placed Kawempe Muslim in case they falter against the table leaders. Amus with 34 points is 4 less of Kawempe’s 38.

On Sunday, She Corporates will be home to Rines SS WFC in another contest for places on the table whereas 4^th placed Lady Doves FC who are one point behind Amus College WFC want to keep pace with the leading pack if they can get maximum points off their hosts at the Makerere University grounds.

Tooro Queens face a real Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League relegation test when they visit the already condemned Wakiso Hill at the St Mary’s stadium in Kitende. The Queens from Fort Portal face a team that has not managed a single victory in the 16 matches so far played managing only 5 draws and losing a damning 14 fixtures.

Hadijja Babirye scored the other goal to seal the victory that takes the Valley warriors to 35 points.

Amus College WFC stunned their hosts Uganda Martyrs Ladies serve the surprise of the weekend. The Kiddawalime girls who have been a different animal in the second round getting results for fan, crambled in front of their own fans thanks to goals from Nambozo Zabinah, Opisa Shalyne and Kainze Joyce. Latifah Nakasi scored the consolation goal for the home side.

Table leaders Kampala Queens moved closer to clinching their second league title with a win against Lady Doves to take their tally to 43 with a game less played and 8 points ahead of their closest challengers Kawempe Muslim Ladies. At this point it looks like it will take a miracle for any team to wrestle the title from the grip of the ‘Queens of Soccer’ who have not lost a game in the 17 matches so far played.  Nandede Zaina and eventual player of the match Nagadya Catherine scored Kampala Queens’ goals.

Wakiso Hill already certain to suffer the worst points total in history of the national women league, suffered yet another loss this time at the hands of the She Maroons FC in the game played at the Luzira Prisons ground. The prisons wardresses used the game to reinvent themselves after suffering defeat against She corporate on the road in their previous game. Wakiso Hill remain winless in 18 games with only 5 draws.

The weekend is here and the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League is here with match day 17 serving us six super exciting fixtures as club get to the pitch fighting to win matches to serve their different objectives.

She Corporate who last weekend ended a three match winless streak with a win against She Maroons will now take on relegation threatened Tooro Queens who lost to fellow strugglers Olila Women HS WFC at home in Fort Portal. A win for either side will improve their survival chances as the league heads into crucial stages.

The Prison wardresses who have struggled for results in the second round will host Wakiso Hill WFC a side that is almost losing the battle relegation. Wakiso Hill trapped in the relegation zone the entire period have not won a game and only afforded five draws. She Maroons will start life without coach Simon Peter Ochuka who was relieved of his duties in the course of the week owing to poor run of results. Wakiso Hills on the other hand are still looking for their first win.

Mid-table sides Makerere University WFC and Riness SS WFC face off at the university playground with either side looking to improve their position on the standing hoping for a better finish as the league nears the season end. Makerere coming from an emphatic 6-1 win against Wakiso Hill last weekend will be hoping to replicate the same form against a rather stubborn Rines side.

At the MTN Omondi stadium, the unbeaten table leaders of Kampala Queens will be looking to strengthen their grip at the summit as they host 3rd placed Lady Doves FC who beat second placed Kawempe Muslim Ladies last weekend to leap frog Amus College WFC on into the 3rd. Lady Doves boasting of league top scorer Resty Kobusobozi will be hoping they can get a result off the Queens of Soccer to put pressure on second placed Kawempe Muslim who take on Olila HS WFC on Sunday.

On Sunday the Kiddawalime girls of Uganda Martyrs Ladies welcome Amus College WFC at their fortress, the St. Gerald stadium in what promises to be a very interesting encounter. Uganda Martyrs has had a very good second round that has had them transform from the bottom half side into one that is challenging one chasing the leading pack. Whereas Amus want to wrestle back the 3rd place they surrendered to Lady Doves last weekend, Uganda Martyrs Ladies on the other hand want to close the gap onto the 4th and 3rd place.

Having lost to Lady Doves last weekend and eight points adrift the top with one more game played the defending champions Kawempe Muslim Ladies now seem to be playing for pride and just don’t want the gap between them and run away leaders to grow any bigger. Kawempe Muslim Ladies host Olila HS WFC a side that is still locked in the relegation struggle with Tooro Queens and She Corporate. A second consecutive win on the road may further improve their survival chances.

She Corporate FC – She Maroons FC, Kyabazinga Stadium

Fort Portal City will host a cracker of a match when Olila HS WFC and Tooro Queens go neck-to-neck in their quest to avoid relegation. A win for either side will bolster their survival chances as the two sides are separated by just a point thanks to Tooro Queens exploits last weekend that saw them pull off a surprise collecting maximum points away at She Maroons to leapfrog Olila HS WFC on 14 points in the 11th place. Having lost to Lady Doves in their last game at home in Soroti a result against a direct challenger will be good but the country Queens will be hoping to build on the away result to bolster their chances further.

Riness will be looking for redemption after their humbling 4-0 loss away at Kampala Queens last weekend. They host Uganda Martyrs Ladies at Kabaka Kyabaggu in what promises to be an interesting encounter. Last weekend Latifah Nakasi notched twice against Wakiso Hill WFC to 2-1 after the visitors had taken an unlikely lead.

Kawempe Muslim visit soaring Lady Doves, who are 4^th on the table hoping to get a positive result that would see them reduce the 8-point gap between them and the table leaders Kampala Queens who will not be in action this weekend. The defending champions sit in 2^nd place on 32 points  

Lady Doves on the other hand have their eyes on the 3^rd spot occupied by Amus College WFC on 27 points but are not playing this weekend. A win will help them take third place and hope Amus slips in future.

With their relegation survival hopes fading every passing match day, Wakiso Hill is fighting what could easily become the worst run in the history of the women’s football league in the country. With 16 match days completed, the ‘Antelopes’ are yet to win a game and sit bottom of the table on 5 points amassed from the 5 draws they have managed. They host more or less consistent Makerere University WFC at St Mary’s kitende hoping this could be the day they get to test victory.

She Corporate will be eagerly wanting to put an end to their recent poor run that has seen them lose their last 3 games and left them entangled in the relegation survival battles. Their most recent loss to Makerere University last weekend saw them drop to 9^th place tied on 15 points with Tooro Queens and just one point above Olila HS WFC trapped in the relegation zone on 14 points.

Coming from a surprising home loss to Tooro Queens, 7th-placed She Maroons are expected to put up a challenge as they try to avoid a second loss on the bounce and sinking further.

Matchday 16 of the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League is here with six exciting fixtures evenly distributed on Saturday and Sunday and a lot at stake for the different clubs as we get into the season’s closing stages.

Table leaders Kampala Queens will be hoping to further bolster their title charge by winning against Rines SS WFC who they are hosting at the MTN Omondi stadium on Saturday morning. Unbeaten in 15 matches, the ‘Queens of Soccer’ will also be playing to keep their flawless record intact. Even if they are to do it, they are expected to find it easy against a very stubborn side that has struggled to get results in second round.

Just one point separates Makerere University WFC in 8^th on 16 points and She Corporates in 9^th on 15 points two sides that are desperately in need of points to strengthen their position on the league table. A win for the hosts will see them leapfrog Rines into 7^th if they fail to pick at least a point from Kampala Queens whereas a win for the Jinja-based ‘Sharks’ will see them leapfrog their hosts into the 8^th position.

In their quest to avoid the drop, 10^th placed Olila H/S WFC which is just 2 points above the relegation zone entertains 4^th placed Lady Doves which boasts of current league top scorer Resty Kobusobozi. A win for Olila will see them switch places with She Corporates if they get anything less than a win against Makerere University. On the other hand Lady Doves want to win to keep peace with the leading pack and 3 points would see them tie with 3^rd placed Amus College WFC on 26 points.

On Sunday, ‘the Kiddawalime girls’ of Uganda Martyrs Ladies will welcome Wakiso Hill WFC at the at the St Gerald stadium with 3 points on the back of their minds. Wakiso hill has the poorest record in the league having failed to win a single match out of the 15 so far played. They have lost 10 and drawn 5 and will need a miracle to beat the drop.  Their hosts on the other hand have turned around their fortunes after a poor first round to climb to 5^th place on 19 points. 

She Maroons hosts struggling Tooro Queens in the Prison grounds hoping to capitalize on home advantage to get the better of their visitors from Fort Portal. They are currently in 6^th position tied on 19 points with Uganda Martyrs Ladies who have scored 3 more goals than them. On 12 points 11^th placed Tooro Queens desperately needs to win lest they lose the battle as fellow would be relegation candidates Olila HS WFC are 2 points ahead of them and seem to be steadily getting away.

In Kawempe, the Valley ground will host what promises to be a very interesting encounter between the 2^nd and 3^rd separated by 4 points. Kawempe Muslim Ladies on 31 points hosts Amus College WFC who on 26 points don’t want to lose track of the leading two. The Faridah Bulega coached side who were promoted from the Finance Trust FUFA Women Elite league last season have been a surprise package putting up a formidable performance in their maiden season in the top tier women league. Kawempe Muslim wants to win to keep pressure on the table leaders who may easily increase their 6 point advantage in case of any further slip up by the defending champions.

The Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League resumes this morning, Saturday, 22nd March 2025 with match day 15 with league leaders Kampala Queens aiming to stretch their advantage at the top.

A win against bottom-placed Wakiso Hill WFC at 10AM kickoff at St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende, would see them open a commanding nine-point gap.

Elsewhere, Tooro Queens fight for survival against Lady Doves in Fort Portal, while Amus College WFC looks to catch second-placed Kawempe Muslim LFC when they host Olila High School WFC.

Uganda’s U17 Women’s team, the Teen Cranes, saw their hopes of reaching the 2025 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup dashed after a 3-0 loss to Kenya at Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi on Sunday.

The defeat sealed a 5-0 aggregate loss, following a 2-0 defeat in the first leg in Kampala last weekend.

Head coach Sheryl Botes made two changes to the starting lineup, introducing Halima Mupyanga and Loyce Komugisha in a bid to overturn the deficit.

However, Kenya struck early, with Patience Asiko finding the net in the 5th minute, beating Uganda’s goalkeeper Haira Nabbosa.

Despite Uganda’s relentless effort to break through the Young Starlets’ solid defense, they failed to find the back of the net.

With four minutes left in regulation time, substitute Brenda Achieng doubled Kenya’s lead with a well-placed finish, assisted by Joy Angella Valencia.

Achieng sealed her brace in stoppage time with a solo effort, outpacing the Ugandan defense to score Kenya’s third and cement their place in the final qualification round against Cameroon, who eliminated Ethiopia.

Reflecting on the loss, Coach Botes acknowledged Kenya’s experience, having played at the U17 World Cup last year. She urged patience from Ugandan fans as the team is undergoing a transformation in both philosophy and playing style. Botes expressed optimism that with time, the team would achieve success on the international stage.

The UgandaU17 Women’s National Team (Teen Cranes) are set to travel to Kenya this morning ahead of the second leg of the match against the Junior Starlets.

Uganda’s Teen Cranes suffered a 2-0 defeat to Kenya U17 Women’s team in the first leg of the second-round qualifiers for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup and look forward to giving Kenya a run for their money to progress to the final round.
