The parties agreed that URA would pay the registration fee and take over Lyantonde's place in the league. [5] After promotion, the team took the URA name and began play in the Buganda mini-league. [6]

The club's first season in the top flight was 2002. They have been one of the most successful teams in the league since their promotion, having never finished in the bottom half of the table.
