The FUFA Women Super League (FWSL), also known as the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League for sponsorship reasons, is a professional association football league and the highest level of women's football in Uganda. Currently operated by Federation of Uganda Football Associations, the league was established in 2019 by FUFA and features twelve fully professional teams. The league replaced the FUFA Women Elite League as the highest level of women's football in Uganda, with eight teams competing in the inaugural 2019–20 season.
In 2019, the Women Super League was introduced to the Ugandan women's football system with the FUFA Women Elite League re-organized as the second division under the Women Super League. The inaugural season of the Women Super League which started with 8 teams, abruptly ended in May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
