She Corporate are back to the FUFA Women Super League (FWSL) and are promising to give everyone a run for their money after the 2022 FWSL champions put up the worst title defense ever witnessed in the 2022/23 season and have been in the FUFA Women Elite League (FWEL), where they have proved a class above the rest of the teams.

After the 2022 FWSL champions put up the worst title defence ever seen in the 2022–2023 season and were in the FUFA Women Elite League (FWEL), where they have proven to be a class above the other teams, She Corporate is returning to the FUFA Women Super League (FWSL) and promising to give everyone a run for their money.

With just one loss in 15 Elizabeth Group games, the side stormed the FWEL playoff finals held at the Ndejje Campus of Standard High School Zzana on Saturday, where they beat Victoria Group leaders Olila High School 6-5 on penalties after a goalless 90 minutes to win the title.

Both sides played the regulation time with little conviction – after all they had already secured a quick return to the FWSL after topping their second division groups.

In the shootouts, Grace Nassongo missed Corporate’s first kick but they rallied with strikes from Stella Musibika and Anita Arinda to keep in contention.

Eunice Ariokot, Dorcus Lwalisa and Mary Lotyang also converted for Olila but their fourth choice Marion Amangat placed it wide of the target and Spencer Nakacwa leveled it 3-3 for Corporate.

Meanwhile, FUFA is moving towards expansion of the FWSL with the 2025/26 season the target for a 12-team leg.

They therefore decided to relegate two this year and next season (2024/25) but they have promoted three from the FWEL this season to make 11 FWL teams and that will also be the case next season.

Byafaayo Queens completed the regular FWEL season thinking they were done for but their second-place finish in Victoria Group gave them a chance to play Tooro Queens – also runners up in Elizabeth – and the former won 2-0, courtesy of goals from competition top scorer Sherline Opisa, at Stand High School Zzana, Ndejje to qualify for the FWSL. Byafaayo have now had back-to-back promotions from the regions to the FWEL and now FWSL.
