CAF'S FINEST: SHAMIRAH NABADDA APPOINTED REFEREE FOR AFCON 2025
CAF's Best Female Referee Shamirah Nabadda selected for AFCON 2025. Discover her historic journey and Uganda's group.
Uganda's Shamirah Nabadda is heading to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco as one of 73 referees selected for the job. She's the only one from Uganda.
Nabadda recently won the CAF Best Female Referee of the Year 2025 in Rabat. At just 30, she's become a respected figure in African refereeing, especially in a profession where men are the majority.
AFCON 2025 will have 28 main referees, 31 assistants, and 14 video officials. Nabadda's presence is noteworthy, considering her strong performance this past year managing important matches all over Africa.
She showed her skill in high-stress situations at the U20 AFCON, the 2024 CHAN tournament, and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. At the CHAN tournament, she was in charge of the bronze medal match between Senegal and Sudan.
Nabadda was also among the ten African referees at the 2024 Paris Olympics, making history as the first Ugandan woman and only the second Ugandan since 2000 to work at the Games.
Born in Mbarara City to Quraish Mutagubya and Mastula Birungi, she played left-back for Masaka Secondary School before joining Western United in the FUFA Elite Women’s League. After finishing Senior Six in 2015, the late Abbas Sendyowa encouraged her to take a refereeing course at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru. That choice changed everything.
By 2016, she had her FUFA badge, and in 2018, she earned her FIFA badge, opening doors to international matches. Since then, she has taken part in the WAFCON, All Africa Games, World University Games, World Cup qualifiers, and many FUFA tournaments.
Nabadda also got a journalism degree from Bishop Stuart University while moving forward in her refereeing career.
Other referees from the CECAFA zone include Pacifique Ndahibawenimana from Burundi, Peter Waweru Kamaku from Kenya, Samuel Uwikunda from Rwanda, Omar Abdulkadir Artan from Somalia, and Mahmood Ali Mahmood Ismail from Sudan.
Uganda is in Group C with Nigeria, Tunisia, and Tanzania. The Uganda Cranes will play Tunisia on December 23, 2025, at the Rabat Olympic Stadium.
AFCON 2025 will be held in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, in six cities and nine stadiums. The tournament starts with Morocco against Comoros at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium on December 21. Ivory Coast is the defending champion.
LIFE AFTER OKELLO: HOW ABDULKARIM WATAMBALA BECAME VIPERS' NEW MIDFIELD COMMANDER
Vipers SC dismantled Police FC 4-1 at Kitende, led by a stunning AbdulKarim Watambala goal to extend their lead at the UPL summit.
Vipers came out flying, up 3-0 by halftime against a stunned Police squad. Once again, AbdulKarim Watambala pulled the strings in midfield, making everything tick.
With this 4-1 thumping at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende, Vipers held onto their three-point lead at the top of the Startimes Uganda Premier League heading into the last games of the first round.
Honestly, what was supposed to be a top-of-the-table clash turned into a breeze for the defending champions. They probably played their best half of football since Ivan Minnaert took over as head coach last July.
Watambala, who’s looked like a new man since his close friend Allan Okello left, set up the opener for Milton Karisa with a clever through ball. Karisa made no mistake, poking the ball past a scrambling Mathias Muwanga in the 32nd minute.
Then came the moment of the night. Watambala picked up a pass from Enoch Ssebagala just outside the box, and with police defenders backing off, he smashed a rocket in off the underside of the crossbar. That was his third goal in two games, after his brace in Saturday’s 3-0 win over URA.
Right before halftime, Odili Chukwuma put the game to bed, heading in Usama Arafat’s cross after nutmegging Richard Matovu.
Police barely threatened all evening, but Saidi Kyeyune managed to pull one back with a low shot just four minutes into the second half. It didn’t matter much. Vipers stretched their lead again in the 77th minute, when substitute Yunus Sentamu headed the ball across for Usama to tap in their fourth.
The win pushes the Vipers to 33 points. Police drop to third with 27. KCCA move into second place after brushing aside UPDF 4-0. Sammy Ssebaduka grabbed two goals, with Joel Sserunjogi and substitute Alpha Ssali also on the scoresheet.
UPL UPDATES: KCCA FC HELD IN LUZIRA WHILE POLICE FC CLOSE THE GAP AT TOP
Police FC move to second after beating Calvary, while KCCA is held to a goalless draw by Maroons in a rusty MD13 clash.
After beating Calvary, Police moved up to second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. KCCA didn't score against Maroons, and Entebbe UPPC beat UPDF, keeping the title race close on match day 13.
Police grabbed second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League after a 2-0 win against Calvary at Kiira Road on Wednesday.
Breaks during the season are usually a time for teams to regroup and let players rest after many games in a short time. But for the Uganda Premier League, there hasn't been much going on since mid-December, partly because of the 2025 AFCON.
Today's game between Maroons and KCCA in Luzira was different. Both teams seemed out of practice, which might explain the dull game that ended with no score.
Neither team seemed ready to push for a win, and there were few chances to score.
KCCA and Maroons each played one game between December 17 and today, losing to Police and Buhimba United Saints, respectively. That's just one game in 35 days.
Maroons played a physical game, preventing KCCA from controlling the ball and playing their usual style. This could be why coach Brian Ssenyondo took out Ashraf Mugume and Saidi Mayanja at halftime, replacing them with Brian Jjara and Derrick Nsibambi.
The home team kept KCCA away from the goal, and even when they brought in another striker, Emmanuel Anyama, later in the second half, they didn't get many chances.
Maroons defended well as a team to earn a point, putting them in seventh place with 16 points.
For KCCA FC, this result is a setback in their chase for the title. They are tied for first place with 27 points, the same as Police, who beat Calvary FC, and Vipers, who have two games left.
Wednesday's results:
Maroons 0-0 KCCA
Police 2-0 Calvary
UPDF 0-1 Entebbe UPPC
