Khalifa analyses why Uganda lost to Algeria
The overall winner between Algeria and Uganda will face the better side between Burundi and Ethiopia in the second round.
Booma finished last season in seventh place with 40 points, 17 behind NEC FC, who grabbed the last promotional slot.
The club wants to account for that deficit this season with the acquisition of coach Mark Twinamasiko, who has made the FUFA Big League his trade.
On the other side, Jinja North United, too, appointed Sadiq Ssempijja in their quest to become the fourth club from Jinja City in the topflight.
