Juliet Nalukenge Joins Yanga Princess: Uganda's Football Star Embarks on a New Journey. -

Ugandan football fans have reason to celebrate as Juliet Nalukenge, one of the country’s most prolific goal-scorers, begins an exciting new chapter in her career. The 21-year-old striker has signed a one-year deal with Tanzanian women’s league powerhouse Simba Queens and her arrival is set to shake up the competition.

Nalukenge’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. After a promising stint with Apollon Ladies in Cyprus, where she helped the team secure silverware, a knee injury sidelined her for nearly a year.

Fans won’t have to wait long to see Nalukenge in action. She is expected to make her debut on 17th December 2024 when Yanga Princess takes on JKT in a highly anticipated clash. With her sharp finishing and tactical intelligence, she’s expected to bolster Yanga’s already impressive attacking lineup.
