FWSL: Title Race Intensifies as Women Super League Second Round Kicks Off

The Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League returns this weekend as the second round gets underway with Matchday 12 fixtures across various venues.

With the title race heating up and the relegation battle tightening, every point will matter in the decisive second half of the season.

Leaders Kawempe Face Tricky Test at St Noa

Table leaders Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC begin their second-round campaign away to St Noa Girls FC on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at Muteesa I Stadium, Wankulukuku.

St Noa Girls, enjoying an impressive debut season, sit sixth on the table with 13 points from 10 games. Their steady performances have made them one of the surprise packages of the campaign.

All eyes will be on the captains — St Noa’s Anomo Barbara and Kawempe’s Agnes Nabukenya — whose leadership and experience could prove decisive in what promises to be a tightly contested encounter.

Lubaga, Lady Doves Eye Crucial Points

Uganda Martyrs Lubaga WFC host Lady Doves FC at St Gerald’s Stadium in another key fixture. Lubaga are currently battling relegation and will be desperate to secure maximum points at home.

Lady Doves sit eighth, while Lubaga are 10th, making this clash vital for both sides. Brenda Munyana (Lubaga) and Resty Kobusobozi (Lady Doves) are expected to play pivotal roles in attack.

She Maroons, Amus College in Top-Four Battle

Fourth-placed She Maroons FC welcome Amus College WFC to Luzira Prison Grounds in a high-stakes contest.

Only one point separates the two sides — She Maroons have 15 points, while Amus College sit fifth with 14. Victory for either team could significantly boost their top-four ambitions.

Relegation Fight in Soroti

In Soroti, Olila High School WFC host Makerere University WFC in a match crucial to the survival battle.

Makerere University are ninth with 10 points and are seeking breathing space from the drop zone. Meanwhile, winless Olila will be hoping home advantage inspires their first victory of the season.

Sunday Showdowns

On Sunday, Kampala Queens FC host Rines SS WFC at Lugogo. The Queens remain firmly in the title race and currently sit third with 18 points. Rines, seventh with 11 points, face a stern test against one of the league’s most consistent sides.

Elsewhere, second-placed She Corporate FC visit bottom-placed Asubo Ladies FC at Kampala Quality Grounds. She Corporate, firmly in contention for the championship, will be aiming to keep pace with the leaders. Jesca Namanda will once again be central to their attacking threat.

Asubo Ladies, with just four points from 10 matches and still searching for their first win, will need a spirited performance to cause an upset.
