Uganda Christian University (UCU) Lady Cardinals registered their first preseason win by a 1-0 win over South Sudanese Women’s League champions Yei Joint Stars FC on August 20, 2025, at the UCU Old Pitch in Mukono.
From commanding leadership in goal to creativity in midfield and composure in defence, these four players will be the heartbeat of a team determined to make their mark on home soil.
UCU’s equaliser came in the second half, courtesy of an unlikely source—goalkeeper-turned-striker Anita Akayo, who also captained the side.
Uganda Christian University (UCU) teams delivered a dominant performance on the opening day of the East African University Games, showcasing their strength across multiple disciplines.
