This year will see the inclusion of play offs in the tournament. Teams finishing in the top two in each pool would qualify for the playoff round. Earlier there used to be the two conventional semi-finals just after the group stage, this meant that all the 4 teams had equal chances of making it to the final. This somehow was unfair to the teams who finished in the top in their pools.

Teams that have confirmed participation are former champions Bukiri Rangers, Lucky Stars and Nanderema Combined.  Others are debutants Young Muslims, Busijo United, Rock Stars, Green Angels. Regulars Blue Eagles is the eighth team in the tournament that will come to its climax on Christmas day.

Venue: Nandereka Primary School, Nabalaki Primary School, Busijo Primary School and Bujwanga Primary School

8 teams drawn into two groups of four teams each.
