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 1-1 Lady Doves

Last year’s FUFA Women Super League champions She Corporate and Olila High School have been relegated to the lower tier.

Zian Ithungu and Winnie Nabbale put the Sharks ahead in the opening 27 minutes of the game.

It was a perfect start to the duel and it looked like She Corporate would finish the campaign with a perfect result after they had a season to forget.

However, in the 73rd minute, Agnes Nabukenya pulled one back for Kawempe Muslim who had wasted a number of glorious chances earlier in the game.

Seven minutes later, Suzan Nalukoda leveled matters to silence the fans of the Nakawa-based side.

Elsewhere, Resty Nanziri scored late to cancel Joweria Nagadya’s early strike as Lady Doves shared spoils with Kampala Queens at IUIU, Kabojja.

After the full-time whistle, Kampala Queens were crowned the fifth-time FWSL champions with 47 points gathered from 18 games.

The Queens of Soccer took over the crown from She Corporates with whom they levelled points but had fewer goals in last year’s campaign.
