Kampala Queens clinched their maiden FUFA Women’s Cup title with a resolute 2-0 victory over Kawempe Muslim Ladies on Sunday, marking a landmark achievement for the club.
The breakthrough came three minutes after the restart when Joanitah Ainembabazi finished coolly from a swift transition that caught Kawempe’s backline off guard. Her strike shifted momentum, allowing Queens to dictate the rhythm of a tense, cagey contest.
Kawempe carved out openings in pursuit of an equaliser, but wasteful finishing proved their undoing. Agnes Nabukenya and Latifah Nakasi both volleyed over from promising positions, chances that might have altered the narrative.
With Kawempe throwing bodies forward late on, Queens capitalised on the counter. Kamiyat Naigaga struck in stoppage time (90+1), sealing the result and igniting jubilant celebrations among players and fans alike.
The victory delivers Kampala Queens their first major cup success, a historic milestone that cements their growing stature in Ugandan women’s football. Kawempe, meanwhile, must regroup quickly as they turn focus to the league campaign.
