In their opening match against Brazil, Morocco fielded 11 foreign-born players, the highest number by any team in a World Cup match. Many of those players grew up in European countries before choosing to represent the land of their parents or grandparents.
UCU finished fourth overall after collecting 41 points in the women’s category and 56 points in the men’s category, giving the university a total of 97 points.
The win was pivotal on the well-coordinated backline of UCU Lady Cardinals, commanded by Prossy Basemera and Harriet Muwugumya, as well as the team’s ball carrier upfront, Cathy Nassimbwa, who was in her prime form so far this season, making the defence of Jinja United Women FC look shaky.
School of Social Sciences combined with School of Journalism, Media and Communication (SJMC) have reached the grand final of the football category at the 2026 Uganda Christian University (UCU) Inter-Faculty Games.
Three-time semi-finalists, FEDT, outshone last edition’s first runners-up, the School of Law. They were more composed from defence to attack, while Law was defensively solid but poor and inconsistent in midfield.
The 1-1 draw came after Isaac Ofoyroth scored for UCU Cardinals, while Geoffrey Ssenyonga found the net for Kyaggwe FC. Both goals were scored in the first half.
The victory means the Lady Cardinals now await the third-round draw to determine their next opponents, as well as when and where the match will be played.
School of Theology held last year’s finalists, the School of Law, to a goalless draw as the race for qualification to the knockout stage of the Uganda Christian University Inter-Faculty Games 2026 continues.
