Throughout the year, Najjemba played a crucial role in guiding the Crested Cranes to the second round of the Olympics qualifiers. Despite a commendable effort, the team faced a 3-2 aggregate defeat against Cameroon.

In her Dynamo Moscow stint, Najjemba’s impressive stats speak for themselves. She has netted seven goals and provided four assists in eight Russian Supreme Division games, contributing significantly to her team’s performance and securing the fifth position in the Championship group.

The nomination is not only a testament to her individual prowess but also a reflection of the growing prominence of Ugandan women’s football on the international scene.
