Ahumuza previously served as an assistant coach at the Mukono-based side before she left in April to join Bukedea Comprehensive School. The instability led to relegation from the topflight.

Uganda Christian University (UCU) Lady Cardinals used their build up to the start of life in the second tier league to appoint Collins Ahumuza as their coach.

Ahumuza previously served as an assistant coach at the Mukono-based side before she left in April to join Bukedea Comprehensive School. The instability led to relegation from the topflight.

But before they met Kawempe Muslim’s B side, owned by Uganda Revenue Authority, in the Finance Trust Bank Fufa Women Elite League (FTBFWEL)’s Elizabeth Group on Saturday, Ahumuza was appointed UCU head coach.
