Kampala Queens delivered a resounding statement in the CAF Women’s Champions League CECAFA Qualifiers, dismantling Eritrea’s Denden FC with a dominant 7–0 victory at Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi. The Ugandan champions entered the match under pressure, having narrowly lost their opening fixture to Kenya Police Bullets. With their tournament hopes hanging in the balance, they responded with urgency, precision, and an attacking display that left no doubt about their intent to bounce back.
The scoring began early, with Kamiyati Naigaga finding the net in the fourth minute, setting the tone for what would become a relentless offensive performance. Tourist Lema doubled the lead just four minutes later, and Peace Muduwa added a third before halftime, giving Kampala Queens a comfortable cushion. The second half saw the team shift into an even higher gear, with Muduwa and Lema each completing their braces, Naigaga striking again, and Zaituna Namaganda capping off the rout in the 77th minute. The fluidity of their passing, the sharpness of their finishing, and the cohesion across the pitch reflected a team determined to restore its reputation.
Assistant coach Sharon Kizza praised the players’ hunger and execution, noting that goal difference could prove decisive in the group standings. The win not only revitalized Kampala Queens’ campaign but also sent a clear message to their rivals: they remain a formidable force in the region. Now sitting second in Group A, level on points with Kenya Police Bullets, who have a game in hand, the Queens have reignited their pursuit of continental glory. Their performance was not just a response to defeat; it was a declaration of ambition, resilience, and belief.
