Wakiso Hill WFC, the newly promoted side to the FUFA Women Super League, will begin their campaign against She Makerere WFC on Sunday morning at St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende.
The Antelopes are eager to make a good impression in their first season in the top flight, and they will be boosted by the support of Busiro North Member of Parliament Hon. Paul Nsubuga, who has bought tickets for the first 30 fans and will also pay fifty thousand shillings (50,000) for every goal scored by the team.
She Makerere WFC, on the other hand, will be looking to finish in a better position than last season’s fifth-place finish.
Their new signing Noaline Namiro is expected to lead the striking line, while captain Josephine Ndagire will lead the team from defensive midfield.
Wakiso Hill WFC head coach Swalleh Kamya is confident that his team can overcome their opponents, despite it being their first season in the top tier.
“It’s our first game in the super league and it means a lot,” he said.
“We have prepared enough to face our rivals She Makerere, a team that stopped us from gaining promotion in the 2021/22 season, but it’s time for revenge and to win the game.”
“The surface at Kitende is different and good, and we hope to possess the game and score well-built goals.”
In the opening game of matchday one of the 2023/24 FUFA Women Super League, UCU Lady Cardinals and Lady Doves shared spoils in a goalless draw in Mukono.
