Uganda Premier League side Kitara has entered a partnership with FUFA Women Super League side Lady Doves.

The development is a mark meant to fulfil the CAF requirement that a team taking part in any continental tournament ought to have a women's football team.

Kitara beat NEC 1-0 in the Uganda Cup final, and the victory meant that the Royals sealed a slot in the CAF Confederation Cup.

"We are glad to announce our partnership with Kitara FC as their official Women's Team for the coming season," Lady Doves confirmed in a statement.

In the same breath, Kitara stated; "Lady Doves will become Kitara FC's official women's team in all its FUFA, CAF and FIFA engagements beginning next campaign."

The partnership was confirmed in a ceremony that was held at the Golden Castle Hotel in Hoima City.

The document was signed by Kitara FC President Deo Kasozi and Mr Nsingwire Godfrey, the team manager of Lady Doves FC. The Royals’ CEO, Joshua Atugonza, was also present.

The partnership is meant to as well improve football in the region by creating a force that can challenge titles both in the men's and women's leagues.
