The long awaited moment is here. Kampala Queens FC is poised to be crowned champions of the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League on Tuesday 2025, at the MTN Omondi Stadium, in Lugogo where the final whistle of the season will mark the start of jubilant celebrations.
Interestingly they will become the first side to lift the recently unveiled beautiful brand new FUFA Women Super League trophy that made rounds being welcomed and blessed by the high profile and influential women in Uganda that among others included; Maama Janet Museveni, the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Rt Hon. Anita Annet Among, the Speaker of Parliament of Uganda, Nnaabagereka Sylvia Nagginda of Buganda, Sylvia Mulinge the CEO of MTN Uganda, Annet Nakawunde the CEO of Finance Trust Bank, Suzan Nsibirwa the MD of Nation Media Group, Hellen Mukiibi a senior news editor at Vision Group on behalf of Babra Kaija the Editor-in-Chief, music Superstar Spice Diana and Mrs Suzan Makula Bugingo of House of Prayer Ministries.
This is the ‘Queen of Soccer’s second title in 3 seasons and ultimately in history adding it the first one they won in the 2022/23 season. They almost clinched the title unbeaten before their flawless league run was halted by former champions Kawempe Muslim on Match Day 20 who beat them 2-1 at their own backyard at the Philip Omondi Stadium. The result meant that Kampala Queens were already champions courtesy of their superior head-to-head advantage having won the reverse fixture 4-1 earlier in the first round at the Kawempe grounds. A goalless draw in the following match against Tooro Queens only confirmed that second placed Kawempe Muslim could not match their points tally no matter the result on the final match day.
The queens will be looking to avoid another slip up that has seen them fail to win in any of their last 3 games. The loss to Kawempe Muslim which was the first in any competition was followed by a draw away in Fort Portal and then another agonizing 3-2 defeat to St. Noa Girls FC in the quarter finals of the FUFA Women’s cup mid last week that ended their dream for a domestic double.
They top the FWSL table with 48 points from 21 matches amassed from 14 wins and 6 draws and just a single loss and will be looking to take that tally just above the half a century mark.
They will face She Maroons FC, one of the league’s giant killers a side capable of taking down anyone on their day. Athletic, aggressive and unpredictable, She Maroons aim to end their season on a high note and potentially disrupt the ‘Queens’ title celebrations. Currently 9th on 23 points, a win for the Prison Wardresses would see them leapfrog Rines SS WFC, who sit 8th with 25 points.
This will be the first trophy for Former Ethiopian National team coach Asefa Firew Hailegebreal who changed the fortunes at the Palace after a slow start to the season who went on to inspire the best winning rate in the league this season.
