Two spots were available in the men’s competition. Central Region’s Eagles and Northern Region’s Falcons reached the Cup Final and grabbed them. They will replace Warriors and Impis who were relegated from the 2024 series.

For Kitgum Queens, Warriors, and Impis to return to the series, they will go through their respective regional competitions before competing in the Core Status Qualifier Tournament next year.

Although they have featured on the series before – as invitational teams when the series was played in their regions, Walukuba Titans, Eagles, and Falcons will mark their first season as a core side in 2025.
