The Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League returns this weekend with the title race back in sharp focus as leaders She Corporate and second-placed Kawempe Muslim face potentially decisive Matchday 20 fixtures.
After a brief pause in league action due to last weekend’s FUFA Women’s Cup ties, attention shifts back to the league with just a few matches left in the campaign and little room for error at both ends of the table.
Saturday’s headline fixture sees table leaders She Corporate host in-form St Noa Girls at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru in what could prove one of the toughest tests of their run-in.
She Corporate have maintained momentum to stay top, but St Noa have quietly emerged as one of the strongest sides in the second round. Since the restart, they have impressed with a possession-based style, controlling matches through midfield and building patiently from the back.
Their recent form includes victories over Kampala Queens and a hard-fought draw against fellow title contenders Kawempe Muslim, underlining their ability to trouble the league’s top sides.
No team has completed a league double over St Noa this season, a statistic that highlights their resilience and consistency.
St Noa will again look to Kenyan forward Marion Serenge, who has been in fine scoring form with six goals in the second round. Her pace, movement and composure in front of goal have made her one of the league’s most dangerous attackers.
For She Corporate, experience and composure could be key. Their ability to control possession, manage the tempo and take their chances in decisive moments may determine whether they remain in control of the title race.
Kawempe Muslim Ladies will also be under pressure when they host Rines SS at Kawempe Muslim SS Ground.
Kawempe are seeking an immediate response after dropping points in the previous round, with head coach Ayub Khalifa admitting his side’s inefficiency in front of goal cost them.
They are expected to dominate possession and attack with width, but Rines have often proven awkward opponents in this fixture.
The rivalry between the two sides stretches back to school football and has regularly produced tight contests regardless of league position. Rines’ defensive discipline and compact shape mean Kawempe will need more precision and better decision-making in the final third if they are to keep pace with She Corporate.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Lady Doves host Kampala Queens at Katusabe Ground in a clash important for upper-table positioning.
Amus College entertain Olila High School at Amus College Stadium as the hosts seek to continue their recent positive run, while Olila will rely on defensive discipline.
At Wankulukuku Stadium, She Maroons host Uganda Martyrs Lubaga, with the visitors hoping to build on momentum from their last victory while the hosts target maximum points at home.
Matchday 20 wraps up on Sunday when Asubo Ladies host Makerere University at Kampala Quality Ground. Makerere come into the match boosted by a win in the previous round, while Asubo are desperate for valuable points.
