She was out of the game for three years due to a knee injury. Her return was memorable.<\/p>\n<p>Nagadya guided She Corporate to their first ever Fufa Women Super League (FWSL) title. They clinched it after a goalless draw with Kampala Queens.<\/p>\n<p>The pair were tied on points but She Corporate bettered the goal difference.<\/p>\n<p><b>Dreaming big<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Nagadya has now set her eyes on gaining a spot in the national team, Crested Cranes, ahead of the June 1-11 Cecafa Women\u2019s Championship at the Fufa Technical Centre, Njeru.<\/p>\n<p>She last featured for Crested Cranes in the 2016 edition of this tournament in Njeru. That\u2019s when her knee popped. \u201cThat year is still deeply etched in memory,\u201d Nagadya recalls. That period was punctuated by pain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a recurring injury that destabilized my fitness on pitch whenever I would force myself to play. At one time. I was forced to call it a time on my career,\u201d Nagadya says.<\/p>\n<p>Even though she had given up on the thrill of competitiveness, Nagadya did not give up on her fight to regain fitness and embarked on training behind closed doors. She missed the game.<\/p>\n<p>Once fit, her team welcomed her back like a prodigal daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Such was the confidence and trust in her that coach Hassan Issa Yusufu immediately gave her the captaincy. Many opposed.<\/p>\n<p><b>Taking responsibility<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not hesitate to name her my captain because when I looked at the team, no one matched her experience despite the injuries and opposition from other stakeholders in the club. I had to stand by my decision,\u201d the coach says. The role made her believe in herself.<\/p>\n<p>Crested Cranes coach George Lutalo has taken notice. Nadadya is part of the side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am glad that they called me back on the team. The next task is to get in there and I have a belief that I can still make it to the top,\u201d she vows.<\/p>\n<p>Her competition for a place in midfield comes in the shape of the foreign-based duo of Joan Nabirye (Kenya) and Sheebah Zalwango (DR. Congo).<\/p>\n<p>Crested Cranes was drawn in Group A alongside Rwanda, Burundi and Djibouti in the upcoming tournament.<\/p>\n<p>AT A GLANCE<\/p>\n<p>Full Name: Naome Nagadya<\/p>\n<p>Age: 26<\/p>\n<p>Club: She Corporate since 2014<\/p>\n<p>League titles: FWSL 2022<\/p>\n<p>National Team: Crested Cranes<\/p>\n<p>Major tournaments<\/p>\n<p>Cecafa Women Championship 2016<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
