he 2025/2026 Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League officially returned on Friday 3 October 2025. The opening weekend produced goals galore, with victories for She Maroons FC and 2021/2022 champions She Corporate FC. Record champions Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC, defending champions Kampala Queens FC and debutants St Noa Girls Zana FC, Amus College WFC, Rines SS WFC and Makerere University WFC all settled for stalemates.
Here is a full roundup of the opening match week:
Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC 1–1 Kampala Queens FC
Kampala Queens FC began their title defence with a 1–1 draw against the Warriors on Friday at Kawempe Muslim SS Ground. The Queens looked blunt in midfield following the departure of last season’s MVP Shamira Nalugya, but salvaged a point when winger Kamiyat Naigaga capitalised on a goalmouth melee to tap home in the 58th minute. This cancelled out versatile Asia Nakibuuka’s strike on her second debut, as the defender-turned-forward rose above defenders to head past debutant Kaidu Sharon four minutes before half-time.
The Queens were second best on the day and will hope their new arrivals settle quickly as they look to build on last season’s impressive form. The Warriors showed flashes of brilliance throughout but their limited bench options could prove a challenge in adapting to different game moments.

She Corporate FC 4–1 Uganda Martyrs High School Lubaga WFC
The Sharks made a flying start to the season with a 4–1 win over the Lubaga-based side at the FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru on Saturday morning.
Under new head coach Inanahazwe Balyse, She Corporate had five debutants – Lukiya Namubiru, Alima Nambafu, Adrine Birungi, Sandra Kisakye and Gillian Akandinda. The new arrivals have blended seamlessly into the line-up, giving the team a fresh look. Their impact was evident in a statement win, with Sandra Kisakye scoring once and assisting lethal striker Jesca Namanda, who bagged a brace. Rebecca Nakato added the other goal, while Nusulah Nakintu scored the visitors’ consolation.
The Sharks’ convincing win sends a strong message that they could be a team on a mission this season. With experience and depth in the squad, they will be one to watch.

Amus College WFC 1–1 St Noa Girls Zana FC
Under the stewardship of Tonny Mawejje, league debutants St Noa Girls Zana FC thought they had secured victory, but a late Shayline Opisa strike in stoppage time cancelled out Esther Babirye’s first-half goal, earning Amus a 1–1 draw on Saturday evening at Amus College Stadium.
Picking up a point on the road shows that the visitors are not here merely to make up the numbers. They came close to taking all three points in their first league match. For Amus College WFC, the draw is a fair result but it is clear they need more attacking options to complement Opisa’s brilliance if they are to mount a serious challenge this season.

Asubo Ladies FC 0–5 She Maroons FC
She Maroons FC made a bold statement with a resounding 5–0 victory, welcoming Asubo Ladies FC to the league in tough fashion.
It was a dominant display that showcased the Jailers’ strength and firepower. Norah Alupo led the charge with a brace, while debutant Lillian Mutuuzo and Lillian Kasuubo each scored once. Kiiza Immaculate added the icing on the cake to secure a comfortable win on the road.
With new head coach Maxwell Okello at the helm, captain Norah Alupo and Kasuubo in attack and debutant Mutuuzo showing promise, the Jailers possess a strong forward line that could drive their ambitions this season.

Makerere University WFC 1–1 Rines SS WFC
Both teams earned a point in their opening match at the Makerere University Ground on Sunday. Phiona Arach was a constant threat for the visitors and was eventually rewarded when her powerful shot slipped through the goalkeeper’s hands to give Rines SS WFC the lead in the 60th minute. However, Nakasaato Rebecca denied them victory with a header five minutes from time.
Both teams will take positives from the match and hope to build momentum ahead of Matchday Two.

Lady Doves FC 0–0 Olila High School WFC
In the only goalless game of the weekend, the visitors will be delighted with a point and a clean sheet at Katusabe Ground given their poor away record.
For the Believers, the result raises questions about their attacking strength, with much of the burden falling on last season’s top scorer Resty Kobusoboozi. They will need to regroup quickly and find new ways to break down defensively solid opponents.
