Uganda Crested Cranes striker Sandra Nabweteme has joined Israel Premier League side Hapoel Ironic Petah Tikva.
This will be her second stint in Europe where she previously played for Thor/Ka FC and Fimleikafelag Hafnarfjardar FC in Iceland last year.
A ‘Kid from Katwe’, Nabweteme started her football journey at the age of five and played with the local boys teams until she turned 14 years old and joined Kawempe Muslim Senior Secondary school where she continued to play football.
She made her name at Kawempe Muslim, helping the team to win two FUFA Women Elite League titles (2014/15 and 2015/16) where she was the top scorer with 17 and 23 goals respectively.
She was also named the FUFA Female footballer of the year in 2015 before moving to the USA the following year.
In March 2021, after her studies at the South West Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) in USA, Nabweteme signed her first professional contract when she joined Thor/Ka FC (Iceland) on a two-year deal.
However, she was later loaned to Fimleikafelag Hafnarfjardar FC in July 2021 for the rest of the season after scoring 3 goals in 7 league games at Thor/Ka FC.
Meanwhile, the former Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC striker was very instrumental as Uganda won the 2022 CECAFA Women’s Championship and she registered five goals during the tournament.
She also scored one goal in the just concluded Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco as Uganda drew 2-2 with Burkina Faso.

- 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.
