Women Football: Daisy Nakaziro, Nakigonzi Depart, What Next For Lady Doves, Less Than a Month to CAF Zonal Qualifiers

The 2021 FUFA Women’s Super League Champions, and the representatives of Uganda in the forthcoming CAF Women’s Champions League zonal qualifiers, Lady Doves FC are in serious dilemma.

Yesterday, two of the Lady Doves starters, this is 2021 Best goalkeeper, Daisy Nakaziro and forward Nakigonzi Elizabeth  left the club’s camp in Kasenge citing failure of the club and the players’ agent reach on agreement of extending the contract.

The club confirmed to this website that it’s true the players left the camp on Monday, ad currently they are not with them and accepted that the contract for the two players expired in June.

For the past two weeks, the club and representatives of the players they have been in serious engagements to see that the players extend the contracts but till now they have failed to reach on leveled ground.

“The contracts for the two players expired in june . The two players have a common “agent” representing them.
the club and the players’ representative are yet to reach an agreement.” Julius Mugisa, the club’s chairman told this website.

“The challenge, it’s like the ‘agent’ has hidden agenda for the players, he is not straight and it’s like we have failed to reach on agreement, he is saying we take the players to Kenya without contract, but tht is in professional, so we decided to first let the players out of camp to go and sort out the issue with their agent.” He explained.  

Lady Doves FC and Daisy Nakaziro have been in marriage since 2018/19 season from now defunct Muteesa I Royal University WFC. In the first season, she reached the Masindi based side to two finals, that is Women’s Cup and Elite League.

So far the club has already brought in goalie Zahara Nankya from Makerere, just in case the negotiations finally fails.

“We are still focused, our heads high and very determined to our main target.“
