Controversy

After Uganda withdrew from the 2004 African Women's Championship qualification prior the preliminary round matches against Malawi, Nakimbugwe and fellow Ugandan footballer Oliver Mbekeka moved abroad. Being in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, they were naturalized there as Annette Nshimire and Oliva Amani, respectively, and represented the country at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship. She also played the following edition in 2008.

Nakimbugwe's daughter, Hasifah Nassuna, is also a footballer and both have faced each other in Ugandan women's league matches.
