Kawempe Make History as Uganda’s Representatives Storm CAF Women’s Champions League Semifinals

Uganda’s representatives in the ongoing 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League, Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC, have stormed the semifinals after overcoming USFAS Bamako in their final group-stage encounter.

Agnes Nabukenya scored a brace, while forward Jovia Nakagolo added another goal as Kawempe cruised to a 3-0 victory over USFAS Bamako to finish second in their group and secure a historic place in the semifinals.

Having defeated defending champions AS FAR in their opening match, Kawempe had given themselves a strong chance of reaching the last four.

However, their progress suffered a setback following a 2-1 defeat to Ghanaian side Ampem Darkoa, leaving them with the task of winning their final group-stage fixture to secure qualification.

The Valley Warriors responded emphatically, producing a convincing performance to defeat USFAS Bamako 3-0 and finish second in the group.

Meanwhile, AS FAR defeated Ampem Darkoa to finish as group winners and join Kawempe in the semifinals.

Kawempe will now shift their attention to the last four, where they are set to face two-time champions Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies on Wednesday, November 11.

The achievement marks a historic milestone for the Ugandan side, who are now among the final four teams competing for continental glory.

It is worth noting that all four semifinalists are guaranteed at least $300,000 in prize money. However, Kawempe will be looking beyond the financial reward as they seek to continue making history and challenge for their maiden CAF Women’s Champions League title.
