Light College Katikamu’s victory earned them an automatic qualification to join the 2017/18 Fufa Elite Women League.
Winning coach Mustapha Kayinda hailed the school administration for supporting and investing in girl’s football which has yielded positive results.
When I first arrived at Light College Katikamu, there was no girl’s football. I gave the school administration the idea which they bought and immediately started supporting.
We played our first games this term in the National Copa Coca Cola tournament in Kabale.
I once again approached the school administration about participating in the Buganda Regional Women’s League which they also bought and I’m glad that we have achieved positive results despite this being our debut season
Meanwhile, Kim Walusimbi, the Buganda Region Women’s League secretary called on the various corporate companies in Entebbe Municipality to support grass roots soccer organizations to promote the talent of the girl child through sports.
