Kawempe Muslim under coach Ayub Khalifa are seeking to win the fourth title but will have to go past Kampala Queens a team that needed to win their final two games in the regular season against UCU Lady Cardinals and Uganda Martyrs to earn their maiden appearance at this stage.

The team is under the stewardship of Crested Cranes head coach Faridah Bulega.

The winners on Thursday will face off in the final on Sunday at the same grounds to determine the league champion.

This is the fourth successive year that FUFA is organizing the Women’s national league and this has greatly changed the game both in terms of quality and the number of players taking part.
