History
URA merged with Lyantonde FC in 2002. URA had been excluded from the Western League. Lyantonde, cup finalists in 2000, did not raise enough money to continue playing in the Buganda Super mini-league. The parties agreed that URA would pay the registration fee and take over Lyantonde's place in the league. After promotion, the team took the URA name and began play in the Buganda mini-league.
The club's first season in the top flight was 2002. They have been one of the most successful teams in the league since their promotion, having never finished in the bottom half of the table.
Stadium
URA FC used the Mehta Stadium in Lugazi as their home grounds from 2011 to 2017 when they shifted to Mandela National Stadium-Namboole from 2019 to 2020. The football club also used Nakisunga Saza Grounds in Mukono as their home grounds till of recent when they returned to Mehta Stadium in Lugazi as their home grounds. The football club also once had their home grounds at the Arena of Visions at Ndejje University which had a sitting capacity of 40,000.
