Under coach Christian Magoba, the Mukono based side announced changes in the team’s captaincy naming Catherine Nakiridde as the team captain, taking over from Shadia Nankya.

Nicole Atimaku has been named as the first vice-captain and defender Peace Aloyo as the second vice-captain.
“I have relieved the head captain of her duties for reasons I won’t stress here. I believe in the new leaders because they have character.” Said coach Magoba
