A Spotlight on Girls’ Soccer Teams.

Kenya’s Arch Bishop Njenga have won the girls’ soccer trophy four times to be the record title holders. But, the glory has been shared with other teams also having a taste of the trophy. For instance, Wiyeta (from Kenya) has won gold medals at three past editions of FEASSSA (2005, 2006, and 2017).

St. Noa Girls from Uganda are the reigning champs after defeating Wiyeta 2-1 in a pulsating final played at Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium in Arusha, Tanzania; on 23rd September, 2023.

The St. Noa girls represented FEASSSA at the 2023 International Schools’ Federation (ISF) football Championship in Rabat, Morocco.

They were eliminated at the semi finals by China 2, in post match spot kicks; after the game had ended in a barren draw.

They went on to win the Bronze medal after defeating Germany 2-0 in the third place playoff.

At this year’s games, the Uganda queens (St. Noa) have been drawn in pool A alongside Kenya’s Bronze medalists Madira Girls (aka the ‘Assassins’). Other teams in the pool are 2019 Champs, Kawempe Muslim (Uganda), Rwandese Gold Medalists GS Gatizo, Kenyan Champs Butere Girls (aka the ‘Red Commandos’) and Tanzania’s Ziba Secondary.
