FUFA Women Elite League new entrants King Of Kings Women FC will be looking forward to overcoming Asubo Gafford Ladies tomorrow afternoon in their first fixture of this year’s league tournament that will take place at FUFA Technical Center Njeru.
King of Kings Women FC was leading the Kitara regional league before COVID-19 lockdown that forced the season to be called off.
However the table leaders of the regional leagues were given an automatic promotion to play in the second tier so the Fort Portal based team got an automatic qualification.
This is the second time Asubo Gafford Ladies are facing a team from Kitara region the first one being Tooro Queens in the Super League playoffs where Tooro Queens won 4-2 in penalties.
King Of Kings will be depending on their captain Kanyiginya Oliver, Kanyiginya Sharon, Katusiime Evelyn, Kyererezi Violet to search for goals whereas former Tooro Queens experienced custodian Kirungi Diana will be in the goal posts to guide the defence.
Asubo will be the club with much confidence after having played in the league before and having experienced players like Mirembe Divine, Zalwango Sheeba ,Mutuibwa Shakirah, Nakati Yawe Madinah , Ada Abiine, are very confident that these will be the ladies to guide the Nsubuga Jackson coached side to success.
The first game of the tournament will be at 9:00am where Luweero Giants Queens will take on Dynamic Jjeza WFC.
The second and last game of the day will be between Asubo Gafford Ladies FC and King of Kings WFC at 12:00pm
