Phiona Nabulime’s move to Egypt is already paying off in style. The Ugandan midfielder has won the Best Foreign Player award for the 2025/26 season after an outstanding campaign with FC Masar.
The 20 year old Crested Cranes star announced the achievement on her social media pages, thanking organizer Mr. Ahmed El Gamal, her coaches, teammates and fans for the support throughout the season.
Nabulime enjoyed a memorable year in Egyptian women’s football, helping FC Masar win the league title and the Egypt Women’s Cup to complete a domestic double.
The league success also marked a second straight title for the club since her arrival in January 2025, highlighting how quickly she settled into life in North African football.
She also played an important role in FC Masar’s run to the semi-finals of the CAF Women’s Champions League, further growing her reputation on the continent.
Before moving to Egypt, Nabulime captained Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC to the 2023/24 FUFA Women Super League title and was already regarded as one of Uganda’s brightest talents.
Days after individual triumph, Nabulime was sighted in Kawempe as her former side Kawempe Muslim won the FUFA Women’s Super League.
