The third club to join them in next season’s Star Times Uganda Premier league will be determined through a promotional play off involving four clubs; Gaddafi FC, Blacks Power, Proline FC and Nyamityobora.

Gaddafi fc face Nyamityobora and Blacks Power will play Proline in the semi-final on a date yet to be confirmed by FUFA.
