Kitara football club has been drawn against Northern regional league entity, Pajule Lions FC in the semi finals of the Stanbic Uganda Cup that were held on Monday morning at the FUFA complex in Mengo.
This will be Kitara FC’s first appearance in the last four of this competition that will be played on a home and away basis.
The Royals host the first leg at the Masindi stadium this weekend before traveling to Pader district for the reverse fixture to determine who advances to the final.
Pajule Lions who have played all their Uganda cup games home at Pajule primary school playground, from the round of 64 to the quarter finals stage will make their maiden trip to Masindi stadium next month.
