Proline FC have been drawn to face Katwe United in the Uganda Cup round of 64.
Proline heads into this campaign as defending champions of the competition, having defeated Bright Stars on penalties to win the previous edition.
For Katwe, they will be hoping to replicate Proline’s success last term as they bid to become the second non-top flight side to win it.
At the same draws held at Serena Hotel in Kampala on Thursday, Vipers SC have been drawn to take on Kajjansi United.
This will be an interesting tie despite the gulf in quality between the two sides, as both are based on Entebbe Road.

The round of 64 will be played between January 20th-26th.
