AS Kigali Women Football Club extended their perennial dominance of women’s football as they won the 2018 Women Football League on Saturday at Stade Umuganda in Rubavu District.

AS Kigali edged Scandinavia WFC 1-0 courtesy of a 72nd minute strike from substitute Dudja Umwaliwase, in an end of season match day 14 tie.

The victory pushed the defending champions to 39 points in 12 matches played this season.

For the first time since 2009, the City of Kigali-sponsored giants had to endure a tough run for their money this season as their closest rival Scandinavia WFC put them under immense pressure for the league title.

Both had to go into the last game of the season tied on 36 points at the helm of table standings. AS Kigali needed to only draw to retain the title while Scandinavia WFC desired a win to claim their maiden league title.
