In Uganda men have dominated the sports media landscape, representing approximately 75 to 85% of sports journalists, with women making up only 15 to 25%. Aheebwa highlights that sports journalism is “traditionally seen as a male domain” in Uganda, which has limited women’s entry and growth in this field.

Despite recently winning the FUFA Women’s Cup, there are still worries over whether their cup success can translate into league survival.
It is the Trinity semester at Uganda Christian University (UCU), different from the ones before, coming right at the peak of the year. It is the perfect moment to check in on the goals we set at the beginning of the year.
Lady Cardinals made a double change introducing Sandra Kisakye and Meble Kusasira for Winfred Atimango and Peace Aloyo.
