The second round of the FUFA Women Super League kicks off with everything still to play for, and the spotlight firmly fixed on consistency rather than early dominance.
While Kawempe Muslim Ladies lead the standings with 28 points from 11 matches, their advantage is far from comfortable.

The chasing pack — She Corporate on 22 points and defending champions Kampala Queens on 21 — remain close enough to punish any lapse over the remaining 11 fixtures.

Rather than a sprint, the title race is shaping into a test of endurance.
Kawempe begin their second-round journey away to St. Noa at Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku. Despite the difference in table positions, this fixture offers little room for complacency. The league leaders edged the reverse meeting 2-1 earlier in the season, a reminder that tight margins could define the campaign’s outcome.

Encouragingly for Kawempe, captain Agnes Nabukenya returns energized after playing a key role in Uganda’s successful push to the final qualifying round of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers. Her leadership could prove decisive in steering the team through a demanding run-in.

For She Corporate, the equation is simple — keep winning and maintain pressure. They travel to face Asubo Ladies, a side struggling near the relegation zone. Corporate were comfortable 2-0 winners in the first-round encounter, and anything less than three points this time would dent their momentum in the chase.

Meanwhile, Kampala Queens appear quietly poised. The reigning champions welcome Rines SS to Omondi Stadium, Lugogo, confident after a commanding 5-2 victory in their earlier meeting. With their attacking firepower already demonstrated this season, Queens will hope to narrow the gap at the top and potentially capitalize on any stumble above them.

As the league resumes, the narrative shifts from early-season promise to sustained pressure. With three teams separated by just seven points and nearly half the campaign still ahead, the championship race may ultimately be decided not by dramatic showdowns — but by who handles the routine fixtures best.
