Uganda’s Kabene joins Malta football team after U-20 success

Uganda’s women’s football has added another export to its professional ranks in striker Sylvia Kabene, who joins Hibernian FC of Malta. The 18-year-old left the country this week shortly after guiding the national under-20 football team to a 5-0 aggregate victory over Namibia in the first round of the 2026 FIFA Under-20 World Cup. NTV Sport had a one-on-one with Kabene before her departure.
