The race for the 2026 FUFA Women’s Cup final took a definitive shape following the first-leg semifinal matches. Heavyweights Kampala Queens FC and league champions Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC secured vital advantages to put one foot firmly into the finals.
Kampala Queens Secure Comfortable First-Leg Advantage over Lady Doves
Final Score: Kampala Queens FC 2-0 Lady Doves FC
Venue: MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo
Making their historic first-ever appearance in the semifinal stage of the competition, Kampala Queens continued their historical dominance over Lady Doves with a professional 2-0 home victory.
The Queens of Soccer controlled the tempo from the onset, utilizing their home turf to stifle Lady Doves' transition play. The victory gives Kampala Queens a commanding cushion ahead of a tricky second-leg trip to the Katusabe Ground in Masindi. Having missed out on the league title to Kawempe Muslim, the Queens are highly motivated to finish their season with silverware, and this comfortable victory brings them closer to that reality.
Red-Hot Kawempe Muslim Outclass Holders Amus College on the Road
Final Score: Amus College WFC 0-3 Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC
Venue: Amus College Stadium, Bukedea
Fresh off securing the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League title, Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC showed no signs of slowing down, dismantling defending champions Amus College WFC 3-0 in Bukedea.
Amus College, who had survived a grueling 9-8 penalty shootout in the quarter-finals to keep their title defense alive, found themselves entirely outmatched by Kawempe's free-flowing, attacking football. The visitors took command of the game early on, silencing the home crowd and leaving the structural defense of Amus exposed.
With a three-goal aggregate lead and three away goals in their pocket, Kawempe Muslim heading back to the Kawempe Ground looks like an insurmountable mountain for the current cup holders to climb.
