FUFA has restructured the FUFA Women Elite League into three conferences for the 2026/27 season replacing the previous Victoria and Elizabeth group arrangement.
The new format creates Central, Elgon and Western conferences featuring 21 clubs across Uganda's second-tier women's football division.
Elgon Conference comprises seven clubs including Jinja Lady Eagles, Busoga Queens FC, Lira City Queens FC, Ateker WFC, Highway Ladies FC, BUL WFC and Olila H/S WC.
Western Conference hosts six clubs with She Kasese FC, Kitara Queens FC, Boni Consil Girls FC, Buheesi Valley WFC, Tooro Queens FC and She Gist FC.
Central Conference fields eight clubs namely UCU Lady Cardinals, Wakiso Hill WFC, Asubo Ladies FC, Luweero Giant Queens, Police WFC, UPDF WFC, Dream Girls FC and PISGBC Queens FC.
Each conference will play three rounds with the aggregate winner after two rounds earning hosting rights for the third round.
Conference winners advance to a mini-league to determine the overall Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Elite League champion.
The top two teams from the mini-league secure promotion to the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League for the 2027/28 season.
How does the new Women Elite League format work?
The league splits into three regional conferences playing three rounds each, conference winners enter a mini-league, and the top two earn promotion to the Women Super League.
- Elgon Conference: 7 clubs from Eastern and Northern regions
- Western Conference: 6 clubs from Western region
- Central Conference: 8 clubs from Central region
