Preview: Uganda Martyrs and Kampala Queens set for a familiar and emotionally charged encounter
Uganda Martyrs Lubaga Women FC will host Kampala Queens at St. Gerald Playground on Saturday morning in a Matchday 16 fixture of the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League.
This encounter carries added significance, with several Kampala Queens players having previously featured for Uganda Martyrs. From goalkeeper Sharon Kaidu to members across defense, midfield, and attack, the visitors boast a strong connection to their hosts.
Additionally, Kampala Queens’ second assistant coach, Shafic Mutebi and goalkeepercl coach Sowedi Kawooya, are former Uganda Martyrs coaches.
Kampala Queens come into this fixture following a narrow 1–0 home defeat to newcomers St. Noa and will be eager to return to winning ways.
Uganda Martyrs are also seeking a response after a 1–1 draw against Rines SS WFC in their previous outing.
In the reverse fixture, Kampala Queens secured a 2–0 victory in Lugogo, courtesy of a brace from former Uganda Martyrs captain Catherine Nagadya.
However, the last time Kampala Queens visited Lubaga, Uganda Martyrs edged the contest 1–0, with Peace Muduwa scoring the decisive goal.
Recent form suggests both sides are evenly matched. Kampala Queens have won three, lost one, and drawn one of their last five matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding just three.
Uganda Martyrs have recorded a similar run, with three wins, one loss, and one draw, scoring seven goals and conceding five.
Historically, Kampala Queens have held the upper hand in this fixture. In the last nine league meetings, they have registered five wins, while the remaining matches ended in draws, with Uganda Martyrs yet to record a victory in that period.
The fixture has produced 18 goals across those nine games, averaging at least two goals per match.
Several Kampala Queens players, including Catherine Nagadya, Patience Nabulobi, Sharon Kaidu, Esther Namusoke, and Shamusa Najjuma, return to Lubaga, where they previously made history by helping Uganda Martyrs secure their first top-flight title in the 2023 FUFA Women Cup. They now return as opponents, aiming to secure maximum points for their current side.
Team news indicates that Uganda Martyrs will welcome back versatile defender Maureen Kizza from suspension, while Kampala Queens have a full squad available for selection.
A win for Kampala Queens would see them maintain third place on 31 points and potentially close the gap at the top to five points, depending on Kawempe’s result.
For Uganda Martyrs, victory would keep them in fourth place on 25 points but reduce the gap to their opponents to just three points.
