The 2025/2026 season is already shaping up to be memorable. We are beginning to reach a point in the campaign where we understand each team’s real level and ambition. She Corporate and Kawempe Muslim Ladies claimed maximum points, while Kampala Queens were held, ensuring an early and intriguing title race.
Here is a full round-up of the weekend’s action.
Is She Corporate FC back to their best?
By any measure, She Corporate FC have made an excellent start to the season, topping the standings with 10 points, level with Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC, but boasting a superior goal difference. Surely not even the boldest Sharks fans would have thought that they could be at the summit at this stage, but that is the state of play as it stands.
She Corporate FC cruised to a 2-0 win over Amus College WFC, their third straight victory. After a tight first half, the Sharks took control after the restart, with Rebecca Nakato scoring her third goal of the season in the 56th minute. The Sharks’ wealth of experience proved decisive as they held firm, dominated possession with authority, and Jesca Namanda sealed the win in stoppage time. This marked their third clean sheet of the season, and their defensive solidity is sending a strong message to their opponents. Rebecca Nakato was named the Finance Trust Bank Woman of the Match.
Nakagolo scores in successive games to maintain the Warriors’ perfect away record
Winger Jovia Nakagolo scored her second goal of the season as Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC made it three league wins on the bounce with a 1-0 victory over Uganda Martyrs H/S WFC at St Gerald’s Ground, Lubaga.
The Warriors carried the greater attacking threat from the outset and it took smart reflex saves from goalkeeper Joan Namusisi to deny Latifah Nakasi from close range and Jovia Nakagolo from distance. The forward was outstanding in attack, linking well with both wingers. After the restart, Nakagolo’s moment of brilliance in the 50th minute proved decisive.
Coach Edward Kasozi’s second-half changes sparked some life into Uganda Martyrs, who applied sustained offensive pressure in the final quarter. Had they been more efficient in front of goal, the outcome could have been different.
The result highlighted the Warriors’ ability to produce different match winners, with Agnes Nabukenya, Asia Nakibuuka, Jovia Nakagolo, and Latifah Nakasi all making an impact this season. However, the most significant aspect of this contest was the Warriors’ defensive line, which kept its first clean sheet of the campaign. Jovia Nakagolo was named the Finance Trust Bank Woman of the Match.
Kampala Queens stunned by Asubo Ladies FC
Kampala Queens FC were held to a thrilling 2-2 draw by Asubo Ladies FC at Kampala Quality Ground. Leading top scorer Kamiyati Naigaga netted her fifth goal of the season to put the Queens ahead, but Faiza Ibrahim’s equaliser kept the hosts in the contest.
Zaina Nambozo’s unfortunate own goal restored the Queens’ lead, but she made amends with a late penalty to secure a point for the home side. Notably, Asubo Ladies scored their first goal of the season, while the result further exposed the Queens’ defensive frailties, with the team still searching for their first clean sheet. Catherine Nagadya was named the Finance Trust Bank Woman of the Match.
Elsewhere, in a closely contested encounter at Muteesa II Stadium, St Noa Girls Zana FC and Makerere University WFC shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw. Allen Nassazi’s individual brilliance put the visitors ahead early, before Dorcas Lwalisa levelled for St Noa after the break. Nassazi’s playmaking skills again proved decisive as she set up Rashida Nankya to restore Makerere’s lead, but Patricia Nayiga’s late strike denied either side victory, earning a hard-fought draw.
St Noa dropped not only crucial points but also missed the chance to apply more pressure on the league leaders. Patricia Nayiga was named the Finance Trust Bank Woman of the Match.
In Soroti, Olila High School WFC and Rines SS WFC played out a tense 0-0 draw at Olila Grounds, with neither side able to find a breakthrough in a closely contested match. The stalemate extended both teams’ winless run to four games, leaving Olila in the drop zone. Forward Mary Lotyang of Olila was named the Finance Trust Bank Woman of the Match.
She Maroons FC and Lady Doves FC also played out a goalless draw at Prison Grounds, Luzira, extending the Believers’ winless run to four games. It has been a tough start for the 2021 champions. She Maroons FC’s star player Immaculate Kizza was named the Finance Trust Bank Woman of the Match.
