It all started with a dream and a pair of worn-out boots on the dusty fields of Kawempe. Juliet Nalukenge, the diminutive Ugandan forward with the heart of a lion, often spoke about conquering the world through football. From scoring her first goal as a teenager at Kawempe Muslim Secondary School to donning the Crested Cranes jersey with pride, her journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Now, she’s ready to take flight once again—this time in Tanzania with Young Africans Ladies FC.
Nalukenge, who previously dazzled fans with her spellbinding runs and clinical finishing for Apollon Ladies in Cyprus, has signed a two-year deal with the Tanzanian giants. The 20-year-old arrives with a glowing reputation as one of East Africa’s most promising football talents. Having graced some of the world’s most competitive pitches, her move to Young Africans signals not only a new chapter in her career but also an exciting opportunity for Tanzanian football to witness her magic firsthand.
In a game often described as “the beautiful sport,” Nalukenge has proven time and again that she is a master of her craft. Her knack for finding the back of the net is as reliable as sunrise, and her ability to read the game like a seasoned general sets her apart from the pack. As the ink dries on her contract, fans in Tanzania are already dreaming of the goals, celebrations, and moments of brilliance that Nalukenge will undoubtedly bring to the club.
For Young Africans, signing Nalukenge is more than just a transfer—it’s a statement of intent. With the forward now in their ranks, the club is poised to soar to new heights, both domestically and in continental competitions. As the football world waits for her unveiling, one thing is certain: Juliet Nalukenge has found her new nest, and it won’t be long before she’s lighting up Tanzania’s pitches with her flair and finesse
