Vanessa joined She Corporate in 2015 in her first stint before she joined Olira High School Women football club.

She later in 2018 rejoined She Corporate for her second tenure after many ups and downs during her time with Olira.

In a press conference held at the club’s head office in Nakawa, Richard Kawere, the She Corporate Chairman said,

“Vanessa was one of the pilots we started with. Went sent her to Copenhagen and I am happy she successfully passed the trials and she managed to sign her professional contract, she is no longer an amateur player.”

Vanessa Karungi becomes the first Ugandan Female player to transfer directly to Europe from Ugandan League.

She asserted that her move to Denmark is to play an ambassadorial role, and she is to work hard to impress in order to create opportunity for more Ugandans to join the league.

“First of all I am very happy about this opportunity, not everyone can get it,” she said before adding.

” I’m going out there to work extra hard and impress. I believe I can create chances for players from Ugandan football because if I play well it means, many will get tempted to come to Uganda for more Players,” she added.
