She made the remarks after&nbsp;a football game between Kampala Queens FC and Olila High school&nbsp;FC in the FUFA Women Super League at FUFA Technical Centre Njeru. \u201cWomen too have unmatched potential in sport. We can close the inequality gap between men and women if we get involved in such games that were predominantly known for men. I call upon other women to follow suit.\u201d She said. Ms Among pledged to lobby for more support for the Sports fraternity, especially to the benefit of the girl child which she says will reduce the gender imbalance&nbsp; that\u2019s exist when it comes to the rate of participation in sports. FUFA President Moses Mogogo, who also witnessed the game that climaxed with a 2-0 win in favor of Kampala Queens, commended the Speaker for her unwavering efforts in supporting talent in Uganda. The FUFA Women Super League is among the top women&#8217;s domestic football leagues in Uganda that is sanctioned by the Federation of Uganda Football Associations."}
