The Uganda national women football U20 team the Queen Cranes, has today entered residential camp at Paradise Hotel Kisaasi, in preparation for the FIFA Women U20 world cup qualifier against Namibia.
The matches are scheduled for 19th and 22nd September 2025, with Uganda keen to take a positive step towards qualifying for the prestigious global tournament.
Head coach Sherly Botes Ulanda named a squad of 32 players from majorly secondary schools in the country, including Boni Consilii defender and captain Zzida Asimwe, who is the only inclusion from Ankole region while defender Kaluya Bethany Lois M. N. who features for newly promoted London City Lioness in the first division of the women football league, England, makes her first call.
The winner between Uganda and Namibia on aggregate will face either Burundi or Zambia at the final qualification round in February next year.
The Queen Cranes have steadily grown in stature on the continent, with many of the players graduating from Uganda's successful U17 and U20 setups. This squad combines school-based talents with those featuring for established Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League sides like Kampala Queens, Kawempe Muslim, St. Noa Girls, UCU Lady Cardinals, and She Corporate FC.
