The upcoming fixture is expected to draw huge attention as both sides aim to reclaim cup glory.

Vipers booked their quarterfinal berth with a convincing victory over Blacks Power, whereas SC Villa navigated past Lugazi FC to keep their hopes of silverware alive.
Police FC, coached by the experienced Matia Lule, have been paired with Kataka FC, the surprise package of the tournament who eliminated top-tier side URA FC. Meanwhile, KCCA FC, the most decorated team in the competition with ten titles, will hit the road to face dark horses Kaaro Karungi in a potentially tricky tie.
According to the FUFA Competitions Department, the quarterfinals will be played over a single leg between April 18th and 22nd.
