The opening weekend of the second round of the FUFA Women Super League delivered immediate drama at the summit, with Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC and She Corporate FC level on 29 points. However, Kawempe hold the advantage courtesy of a superior head-to-head record. Behind the leading duo, the mid-table race remains tightly contested. With six fixtures lined up for Saturday, Matchday 13 promises more intriguing action as teams battle for vital points in the title race.
Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC will play their first home match of the second round as they host Uganda Martyrs Lubaga WFC at Kawempe Muslim SS Ground. The league leaders must regroup after conceding a stoppage-time equaliser against St Noa last week. Coach Ayub Khalifa has emphasised the need for composure and efficiency in the final third while maintaining defensive discipline in pursuit of three points. Uganda Martyrs, fresh from a positive start to the second round, are likely to press high and exploit spaces in transition. Their attacking duo of Angel Kigongo and Moreen Kizza will be pivotal in testing Kawempe’s defensive organisation as they push for maximum points.
At Amus College Stadium, Amus College WFC host a composed She Corporate FC in what shapes up to be a pivotal encounter. Amus will rely on compact defensive lines and quick transitions to unsettle the Sharks, while She Corporate are expected to dictate possession, using the movement and finishing ability of Jesca Namanda to break through defensive blocks. The clash will test both sides’ tactical flexibility, with Amus seeking to capitalise on home advantage and the sharks aiming to keep pace at the top
At MTN Omondi Stadium, Kampala Queens FC will be seeking their first second-round victory against Asubo Ladies FC. The Queens must balance attacking intent with defensive solidity after recent lapses cost them points. Asubo, motivated by their 2–2 draw with the defending champions in the first round, are likely to employ a disciplined low block and strike on the counter, forcing Queens to break down a compact and organised defence.
At Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium, Rines SS WFC host Olila High School WFC in a fixture that could prove decisive for mid-table positioning. Rines, buoyed by a valuable draw last week, will aim to control possession and stretch the opposition through wide play, relying on Patricia Nakato Nanyanzi and Arach Phiona to create attacking overloads. Olila will counter with high pressing in midfield and quick link-up play, with Mary Lotyang orchestrating transitions to challenge Rines’ structure.
At home, Makerere University WFC face a reinforced St Noa Girls FC side that impressed last weekend with tactical discipline and fluid attacking play. The university side will look to press aggressively while St Noa will aim to dominate possession to exploit gaps with coordinated runs and quick passing combinations in what promises to be a closely contested encounter.
In Masindi at Katusabe Ground, Lady Doves FC aim to return to winning ways against She Maroons FC. Both teams have posted mixed results recently. The believers will seek to impose a high tempo and leverage home familiarity, while She Maroons will depend on a structured defensive approach and structured attacking sequences while targeting set-piece opportunities. The encounter promises a tactical battle shaped by experience and resilience.
Heading into Match week 13, Jesca Namanda leads the scoring charts with 10 goals, closely followed by Kampala Queens winger Catherine Nagadya on nine. The Golden Boot race adds another compelling subplot to what is shaping up to be a decisive weekend in the league.
