•URA Vs KCCA – Nakivubo
•Happy Boyz Kagaba Vs SC Villa – Kassanda

•NEC FC Vs Vipers SC – Lugogo
Dates: April 1-6
SC Villa will visit Kassanda-based Happy Boys Kagaba, avoiding a Uganda Premier League side, in the Stanbic Uganda Cup quarterfinals after Thursday’s draw.
Happy Boys Kagaba is the only non-UPL side remaining in the competition having eliminated Six O’clock at the previous round of 16 in shootouts.
URA FC will host KCCA at Nakivubo, Express visit Kitara while NEC will welcome holders Vipers SC at Lugogo in the other draws.
These are single-legged ties, due to be played April 1-6, with the winners reaching semifinals.
The Jogoos have won the Uganda Cup nine times, only edged by joint record winners Express and KCCA FC on 10.
But have not won this competition since 2015 when they beat KCCA FC 3-0 in a rescheduled final at Namboole.
Such was a controversial final that it had to be replayed after the initial one in Ntungamo was aborted following crowd invasion when Villa took the lead following a controversial penalty awarded by Referee Robert Donney at Kyamate.
In the replay at Namboole, Augustine Nsumba, Abdulkarim Kasule and Yeseri Waibi scored a goal each to hand the Jogoos the Uganda Cup title.
Since then, they have never reached the Uganda Cup final again, and were beaten by Vipers last year at the quarterfinals.
This year, they have eliminated Palisa Hospital, BUL FC and Maroons to reach this stage, and they will fancy their chances against a fourth division side.
