In a thrilling encounter that showcased the growing prominence of Ugandan players in international football, Hadijah Nandago made her eagerly awaited debut for Sethu Women FC, while Resty Nanziri continued to shine for East Bengal in Indiaโ€™s top womenโ€™s football league.

Their performances not only marked key moments for their respective clubs but also highlighted the rising impact of Ugandan talent on the global stage.

Hadijah Nandagoโ€™s Debut with Sethu Women FC

Former Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC star Hadijah Nandago recently made her debut for Indian club Sethu Women FC, stepping onto the pitch as a substitute in the 63rd minute against East Bengal.

The match, however, did not unfold as the team had hoped.

Despite Nandagoโ€™s arrival sparking excitement among fans, Sethu Women FC suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat at the hands of league leaders East Bengal.

Goals from Sandhiya Ranganathan, Soumya Guguloth, and Maurice Achieng handed the visitors a commanding victory.

The result was a disappointment for Nandago and her teammates, as it marked Sethu Women FCโ€™s first loss of the season.

The team, now sitting in fourth place with 7 points, will be looking to bounce back in future matches, especially with Nandagoโ€™s skills now part of their lineup.

Resty Nanziriโ€™s Continued Excellence at East Bengal

On the winning side of the match was Resty Nanziri, a fellow Ugandan international who has been in stellar form for East Bengal.

Nanziri, who has quickly established herself as a key player for her team, played a crucial role in assisting one of East Bengalโ€™s goals in a dominant 3-0 victory.

Despite being substituted in the dying minutes of the match, Nanziri’s contributions throughout the game were instrumental in securing her teamโ€™s fourth consecutive win.

The victory propelled East Bengal to the top of the league table, with a perfect 12 points from four matches.

Nanziriโ€™s consistency and leadership on the field have made her a standout player, and her impact on the league continues to grow.

A Bright Future for Ugandan Footballers Abroad

Both Nandago and Nanziri represent the rising strength of Ugandan women in international football.

Nandagoโ€™s move to Sethu Women FC marks a new chapter in her career, and while her debut didnโ€™t yield the desired result, her potential is clear.

Her partnership with Amina Nababi, another Ugandan international playing for Sethu, is one to watch as they aim to turn their season around.

However, these two join other Ugandans playing in the same link like current League top scorer, Fazila Ikwaput who plies her trade at Gokulam Kerala FC and Kickstart FCโ€™s Joanita Ainembabazi.
