Caroline Kiiza

This Ugandan midfielder is a force of nature who pairs blistering speed with relentless physicality, though her first touch can occasionally betray her in moments of calm. She often laughs with opponents after a crunching tackle, a quirky habit born when she accidentally headbutted a goalpost while attempting a save at age twelve, only to hop up smiling and thank the post for the support. Possessing an imposing frame, she dominates the air and the midfield with a friendly grin, even as her stamina starts to wane under constant pressure.
