Kawempe Muslim SS Women FC striker Juliet Nalukenge is leading the race for this year’s Airtel-FUFA female player of the award. The shortlist for the Airtel FUFA male and female player of the year was recently reduced to just five nominees in the two categories following two voting phases that involved coaches and captains in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League as well as the 16 coaches for teams in the FUFA Women Super League and the FUFA Women Elite League.

The initial process helped in formulating the list that had 16 and 12 nominees for the male and female category respectively before the second phase of voting that saw the coaches and captains select the top five nominees in the two categories.

The female top five nominees include; Shadia Nankya, Hasifa Nassuna, Juliet Nalukenge, Fauzia Najjemba and Daizy Nakaziro who are also part of the Crested Cranes that is competing in the 2019 CECAFA Women’s Challenge Cup in Tanzania where Uganda plays Kenya this Thursday.

Nalukenge captained Uganda U17 Girls’ national team to winning the COSAFA Championship and she emerged top scorer with 18 goals. She helped Kawempe Muslim win both the national and East Africa Secondary Schools championship.

Najjemba, a student at Mukono High School who moved from Isra Soccer Academy to Kampala Queens recently, was part of the Uganda U17 Girls’ national team that won the COSAFA Championship scoring 12 goals.

She was joint to scorer in the FUFA Women Elite League (regular season) scoring 14 goals. Najjemba helped Mukono High School to win the Independence Cup, she finished as top scorer both in the National Schools Championship and the East Africa Secondary Schools Championship scoring 14 and 10 goals respectively.

Nassuna who won the Airtel-FUFA Female player of the year accolade in 2016 guided UCU Lady Cardinals to winning the FUFA Women Elite League last season ending the season as the top scorer with 16 goals and was also named the most valuable player (MVP).

Nankya

Defender Nankya scored 11 goals in the league and was the top scorer in the FUFA Women’s Cup with seven goals while Lady Doves goalkeeper Daizy Nakaziro was named the best goalkeeper both in the FUFA Women Elite League and the FUFA Women’s Cup.

The coaches’ and captains’ votes contribute 50% and 25% respectively in determining the winner while the fans have a contribution of 25%. The process through which the fans can vote for their favorite player both in the male and female category will be communicated later.

The 2019 Airtel FUFA Awards dinner will be held on 14th December at Speke Resort Munyonyo where the winners in two categories will drive away in new cars.
