Kataka FC spent ten seasons in Uganda's second division before finally earning promotion to the Premier League in June 2026. The club represents Mbale City in eastern Uganda and is popularly known among local supporters as the Lufumbi Boys. Its promotion brought a new chapter for a team that had repeatedly come close to reaching the top flight.
Kataka entered the FUFA Big League after defeating Kamuli Park in the Eastern Regional promotion final of 2016. The club then spent several seasons competing against established Ugandan sides, including Onduparaka, Paidha Black Angels and Blacks Power. In 2022, Kataka finished fourth and narrowly missed promotion after an unsuccessful final round. Another disappointment followed in 2025 when Gaddafi FC secured promotion after defeating Kataka at Mbale Municipal Stadium.
The breakthrough arrived during the 2025/26 FUFA Big League season under coach Godfrey Awachango, popularly known as Toldo. Kataka entered the final match against Soltilo Bright Stars with its Premier League place still at stake. Ali Ssentamu converted a penalty before Usama Khayemba added another goal late in the contest. That victory secured third place with 51 points and ended the club's long wait for promotion.
Kataka finished the championship with 16 victories, three draws and eleven defeats across 30 league matches. The team scored 40 goals and conceded 26, an impressive record during a closely contested promotion campaign. Blacks Power won the title, while Ntugasaze and Kigezi Homeboyz also earned places in the top division.
The promotion carried special importance for Mbale because fellow city club Mbale Heroes suffered relegation during the same season. Kataka subsequently entered the Uganda Premier League, with matches against established opponents such as KCCA, Vipers and SC Villa.
