History

Black Angels played the 2018–19 season in the Uganda Premier League after their promotion in the 2017/2018 season.[3] They only managed two wins in their first 26 games and were the first team to have their relegation confirmed.[4]

Black Angels, managed by Allan Kabonge, won the 2017/2018 FUFA Big League promotion playoff to qualify for the top flight.[5] Black Angels were the fourth club Kabonge managed to achieve promotion to the FUFA Big League.[6]

They are also notable for having played in the 2016/2017 Ugandan Cup Final, which they lost 2–0 to KCCA FC.[7]
