Newly promoted FUFA Women Super League side URA Ladies are continuing to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, with the club targeting players who bring experience and quality to the team.The Tax Collectors have been active in the transfer market and have already confirmed several new additions as they prepare for their first campaign in the top flight.
A day after announcing the signing of midfielder Shamusa Najjuma from Kampala Queens, now known as KCCA Women, URA Ladies confirmed the arrival of defender Patience Nabulobi on a two-year contract.Nabulobi brings considerable experience to the URA Ladies squad, having played for several clubs in Uganda’s top division. Her previous teams include Uganda Martyrs Lubaga, Makerere University and Kampala Queens.Her arrival is expected to add depth and experience to the URA Ladies defence as the club prepares for the challenges that come with competing in the FUFA Women Super League.URA Ladies have been increasingly active in the transfer market as they look to build a competitive squad capable of making a strong impression following their promotion.The club is also working to strengthen its technical department, with reports indicating that discussions are underway with Kawempe Muslim assistant coach Moses Nkata over a possible appointment as the team’s permanent head coach.
Nkata was part of the technical team that guided URA Ladies to promotion and is already familiar with the players and structures at the club.His connection with URA Ladies dates back to the arrangement in which Kawempe Muslim Junior Team initially served as the women’s club for URA FC before the team was fully acquired.Following the acquisition, a significant number of players from the former Kawempe Muslim Junior Team were retained, alongside members of the coaching staff, including Nkata and head coach Ayub Khalifa.With the new season approaching, URA Ladies are expected to continue making additions as they build a squad and technical setup capable of competing at the highest level of women’s football in Uganda.
