Uganda U20 Women’s National Team XI that eliminated Kenya from the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup Qualifiers | Fufa Media Photo
Uganda Senior Women’s National Team (Crested Cranes) head coach George Lutalo has moved outside the provisional squad of twenty seven players he revealed few days ago to start preparations ahead of the forthcoming 2022 Africa Women Cup of Nations Qualifiers.
Lutalo has drafted three more players into the Crested Cranes initial provisional squad ahead of their double header against Ethiopia with the first leg slated for 20th October at St. Mary’s Stadium Kitende and then a return leg in Bahir Dar six days later.
The new additions to the Crested Cranes initial provisional squad that had a recovery training session in the evening at the FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru are U20 Women’s National Team trio of striker Juliet Nalukenge and midfielders Shakirah Nyinagahirwa and Hadijah Nandago

The aforementioned U20 players were very influential as the Uganda U20 Women’s National team eliminated neighbours Kenya from the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup Qualifiers thanks to a 10-3 aggregate win after the first and second leg played at Nyayo International stadium and St. Mary’s Stadium Kitende respectively.
Nalukenge, Nandago and Nyinagahirwa have joined eight other U20 Women’s National Team players that were part of the team that eliminated Kenya and were also included in the initial Crested Cranes Squad that was named by George Lutalo few days ago.
The eight are Fauzia Najjemba (U20 captain), Margaret Kunihira and Shamirah Nalugya who have previously played at the senior level, Daphine Nyayenga, Samalie Nakacwa, Sumaya Komuntale, Bira Nadunga and Aisha Nantongo who are earned their maiden call to the senior team.

AROUND THE SPORTING WORLD
- Achomo, Mukulu Rally Seeta High to Keep Women’s Finals Alive
Facing the prospect of falling 3-0 behind in the best-of-five series, Seeta produced a determined late fightback to secure their first win of the finals. Kampala University had entered Game Three with victories of 48-43 and 53-47 in the opening two games, hoping to move closer to the championship, but Seeta refused to let the series slip away. - Omara Inspires Watoto Men to 2-1 Finals Lead as Seeta Revive Title Hopes
Both series resume on Wednesday, with Watoto seeking the victory that would put them on the brink of the men’s title and Seeta aiming to draw level in the women’s competition. - Kawempe Overcome Uganda Martyrs to Seize League Summit
Football rewards teams that seize their opportunities, and Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC made theirs count to claim a 2-1 victory over Uganda Martyrs Lubaga WFC at St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende, on Sunday. - Uganda Martyrs Face Kawempe Test with Top Spot at Stake | Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League
The central contest is likely to be between Uganda Martyrs’ scoring threat and Kawempe’s unbeaten defence. With an average of 2.5 goals per game, the leaders have demonstrated their ability to make chances count. Kawempe, by contrast, have yet to concede, suggesting that their defensive organisation has been effective. The challenge for Uganda Martyrs is to find a way through without losing the attacking rhythm that has brought them six points. - KCCA Women Held by Makerere as Missed Chances Define Goalless Draw | Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League
The goalless draw was a story of opportunities missed and defensive interventions that mattered. KCCA had enough chances to win the match but could not find the finishing touch, while Makerere remained resilient and came within inches of claiming victory at the death.
