After a thrilling opening weekend that saw 16 goals scored across six fixtures, the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League returns with a packed Matchday Two, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. With every team now having a taste of competition, this weekend’s fixtures carry added weight as early title contenders, mid-table hopefuls, and struggling sides look to define their paths.
Defending champions Kampala Queens will host Makerere University in a battle of teams seeking their first win of the season. Both sides opened their campaigns with draws and will look to make a statement. The Queens will rely heavily on midfield dominance from Zaitun Namaganda and Kamiyat Naigaga, while forwards Shamusa Najjuma and Catherine Nagadya aim to convert chances.
However, they may miss key winger Peace Muduwa, who is unavailable due to upcoming national examinations. Makerere University’s structured and disciplined style, anchored by captain Josephine Ndagire, may prove difficult to break down. Their strength on set pieces could be their best route to a surprise result.
Kawempe Muslim Ladies travel east to take on an Olila High School side buoyed by a gritty away point last weekend. Kawempe, joint pre-season favourites, will look to assert themselves with dynamic midfielders Agnes Nabukenya and Krusum Namutebi pulling the strings. Still, Olila’s solid defensive duo of Lonah Alupo and Harriet Adubango will be tough to break down in front of a passionate home crowd.
Rines SS will aim to build momentum after an opening draw, while Asubo Ladies are reeling from a heavy 5–0 defeat to She Maroons. Asubo’s defensive lapses will be under scrutiny, and their reliance on counterattacks may not suffice against Rines’ composed midfield play. Rines’ playmaker Phiona Arach will be key to unlocking a vulnerable defence.
Arguably the weekend’s headline fixture, table leaders She Maroons welcome She Corporate in a clash of in-form sides. The Jailers, fresh from a dominant 5–0 win, will count on captain Norah Alupo and the attacking duo of Lillian Kasuubo and Lillian Mutuuzo to penetrate She Corporate’s lines.
But the Sharks come equally confident after a 4–1 win over Uganda Martyrs. With Jesca Namanda and Sandra Kisakye leading the line, the battle could hinge on who handles pressure better. Tactical mastery from coaches Maxwell Okello (She Maroons) and Inanahazwe Balyse (She Corporate) will be pivotal.
St Noa Girls host their first-ever home league fixture, adding emotional intensity to their clash with Lady Doves. Both sides drew their openers and are hungry for three points. Dorcus Lwalisa will spearhead St Noa’s attacking play, while Lady Doves will bank on Resty Kobusoboozi to find the net. A historic win at home is on the cards for St Noa if they can seize their moments.
Uganda Martyrs will be desperate to bounce back after a heavy loss to She Corporate. Hosts will turn to midfield duo Brenda Munyana and Nusulah Nakintu for control. Amus College showed promising signs in a 1–1 draw last week, with Shayline Opisa and Namataka Esther looking dangerous up front. Expect a tight contest as both sides seek to find early-season rhythm.
