• Kampala Queens vs Wakiso Hill – 3 PM

The clash between Kampala Queens and Wakiso Hill will get the 2024-25 Women Super League campaign underway.

Kampala Queens concluded the previous campaign with a 2-0 loss to Kawempe Muslim who were eventually crowned champions.

Since then, a lot of water has gone under the bridge, and a lot of changes have been made at the Lugogo based side.

The Queens of Soccer Captain Shamirah Nalugya underlined that they are taking every game serious because they are all important.

“We are taking every game seriously and will give our best to entertain our fans and secure three points,” she noted.

“Personally, I’m working hard to be the best so that I can help my team to win the trophy. The competition is tough, but we are ready,” she added.

In the previous campaign, Wakiso Hill finished eighth on the 10-team log after turning around their campaign late.

So they will not want to try fate once again, thus kicking off the campaign on a high and starting with a deserved momentum.

The two sides have faced off twice, and Kampala Queens have won both games managing to score three goals and concede only one.

She Corporates were announced the FUFA Women Elite League champions after edging Olila High School in the final.

The Nakawa-based side held their nerves to secure a 6-5 penalty shootout victory after a goalless draw in normal time.

She Corporates head coach Isa Hassan revealed that consistency and remaining together shaped the team into a cohesive unit.

“Despite the challenges and relegation we remained consistent and together which helped us shape the team into a cohesive unit,” the gaffer stated.

“The main reason we faced relegation was due to the loss of 60% of our team. Several players departed for lucrative opportunities and greener pastures. However I rose to the challenge and worked with the remaining players,” he added.

Stella Musibika, Anita Arinda, Spencer Nakacwa, Brenda Munyana, Lucy Fiona Atono and Joweria Nagadya converted the penalty shots for She Corporates.

On the other hand, Eunice Ariokot, Dorcus Lwalisa, Mary Lotyang, Doreen Apio, and Oliver Adong also converted their spot kicks for Olila H/S.

The victory ensured that She Corporates returned to the top tier as FWEL champions after one year in the second tier.

Isa added that as an institution they plan on ensuring that they develop players both on the pitch and also in class.

“As a coach my coaching strategy aligns with our partners in Denmark. We [the institution] develop players both in class and later on the pitch,” he shared.

“Coming into the FWSL (FUFA Women Super League), we look at building a team that will compete and not only take part. We have a great assignment of bringing back the lost glory at Nakawa,” he concluded.

• Kampala Queens 3-1 Lady Doves

Kampala Queens head coach Charles Ayiekoh Lukula was over the moon after his side put an end to their recent poor run.

Kampala Queens found themselves in a worrying state after going four games without a victory but registering four draws on a bounce.

The Queens of Soccer secured a 3-1 victory against Lady Doves in a FUFA Women Super League encounter played at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.

In the post-match interview, Lukula revealed that putting aside pressure saw them return to winning ways and they will stick to the strategy in the remaining games.

“I am so happy that we registered maximum points. The truth is that we had gone four games without a victory and it was not looking good at all,” he stated.

“However the difference was putting the pressure of defending the title aside. I asked the girls to give me to give me the victory and they did so,” he added.

“The most jovial part about it is that we registered the victory but after playing sweet football, I hope we stick to the strategy.”

The victory leaves Kampala Queens second on the log with 30 points behind log leaders Kawempe Muslim who have played a game more.
