Kampala Capital City Authority Football Club (KCCA FC) has taken a major step into the future of women’s football after acquiring a 30 percent stake in Kampala Queens, a move that signals a new era of growth, investment and professionalisation in the women’s game.
The agreement, initially set to run for one year, will see the Uganda Premier League club become a strategic shareholder in Kampala Queens, with provisions that could allow KCCA FC to increase its ownership in the future.
As part of the partnership, Kampala Queens will officially transition into Kampala Capital City Authority Women’s Club (KCCA Women), adopting the KCCA identity, colours and institutional structure.
Beyond the rebranding, KCCA FC will actively participate in the club’s commercial, technical and administrative operations, a development expected to strengthen governance, improve financial sustainability and create a more robust pathway for player and technical development.
The collaboration also positions the women’s side to enhance its competitiveness both locally and on the continental stage, while aligning it with one of Uganda’s most established football institutions.
Founded in 2016 following the acquisition of the former Ghaddafi Integrated Academy, Kampala Queens have risen to become one of the dominant forces in Ugandan women’s football.
Their success has been underlined by three major trophies, including FUFA Women Super League titles in the 2022/23 and 2024/25 seasons, as well as the 2026 FUFA Women’s Cup triumph.
The partnership with KCCA FC is therefore widely viewed as a transformative milestone, not only for the club itself but also for the broader advancement of women’s football in Uganda, as KCCA Women embark on a new chapter backed by stronger structures, increased investment and greater ambition.
