The Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League heads into Matchday 18 with five fixtures set to be played on Saturday, as the title race tightens and the season edges closer to its conclusion.
Just one point separates leaders Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC and second-placed She Corporate FC, ensuring that the battle at the top remains firmly in focus with every match now carrying significant weight as both teams remain firmly in the spotlight to navigate another pivotal round of fixtures.
Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC travel to Kampala Quality Ground to face Asubo Ladies FC, aiming to protect their narrow lead at the summit. The table leaders have combined resilience with attacking efficiency in recent matches, and their approach continues to be built around effective use of the wide areas.
With Jovia Nakagolo and Asia Nakibuuka providing width and delivery from the flanks, Kawempe have consistently created scoring opportunities, while centre forward Latifah Nakasi, currently the club’s top scorer with nine goals .remains a constant threat in the final third.
Their ability to stretch play and deliver into dangerous areas has been a key strength, but at this stage of the season, there are no easy fixtures. Despite Asubo’s position at the bottom of the table, Kawempe will be aware that any lapse in concentration could prove costly in such a tightly contested title race.
Attention will also turn to the FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru, where She Corporate FC host Kampala Queens FC in one of the standout fixtures of the round.
This encounter has grown into one of the league’s most captivating rivalries, consistently delivering intensity and drama both on and off the pitch. The reverse fixture lived up to that billing, with She Corporate claiming a thrilling 3-2 victory inspired by Jesca Namanda’s hat-trick.
She Corporate come into the match with renewed confidence following their comeback win over Rines SS WFC, and their head coach will be keen to build on that momentum after recently being named Coach of the Month.
Kampala Queens FC, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency in the second round, but remain a formidable side capable of rising to the occasion. Zaituni Namaganda, who was named Player of the Month, will be central to their ambitions as they look to deliver a strong response in a high-stakes fixture.
Elsewhere, Lady Doves FC host Makerere University WFC at Katusabe Ground. Makerere come into this fixture on the back of a positive result, and will be looking to build momentum, while Lady Doves aim to respond after their narrow defeat to Kawempe.
At Amus Stadium, Amus College WFC face Rines SS WFC in a closely contested battle between two sides level on points, with both teams targeting a strong finish to the campaign.
She Maroons FC welcome Olila H/S WFC at Prisons Ground, seeking to build on their encouraging draw against Kampala Queens. Olila, still searching for improved results, will be eager to put together a more competitive performance.
