Kawempe Muslim Secondary School has made a strong start to the CECAFA Women’s Club Championship, securing a crucial opening match victory.
The Ugandan representatives faced off against Ethiopia’s Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) FC in a highly anticipated encounter. A win in this match is paramount for Kawempe’s ambitions in the regional club competition, as it significantly boosts their chances of progressing from the group stage.

However, their decisive performance has now put them in a favorable spot.
The CECAFA Women’s Club Championship is a key tournament for women’s football in the region, offering a platform for clubs to compete at an international level and vie for continental qualification. Kawempe Muslim’s participation underscores their status as a leading women’s football institution in Uganda.
Further details regarding the match’s scoreline and key performers are expected to emerge. This initial victory sets a positive tone for Kawempe Muslim as they continue their journey in the championship, aiming to bring the trophy home to Uganda.
