A total of four teams drawn from both Northern Zone A and Zone B will jostle for the coveted slot. Zone A winners Omax FC alongside the zone's runners-up Simba Apparel join Zone B champions Ewasco FC and Dummen Orange in the two-day tournament.
Under the tutelage of Nicodemus Omasete, the water boys (EWASCO) concluded the season on 66 points to edge out second-placed Dummen Orange who were four points adrift though both sides booked a place in the playoffs.
Heavyweights and promotion favorites at the start of the season Nkanas FC missed out on the mini League as they finished seventh on 53 points.
In Zone A, Omax proved strong for the majority of the teams as they marshalled the league emerging victorious on 65 points five ahead of second-placed Simba Apparel.
Both matches will be played at the same time in different venues with the first semi-final pitting Pool A champions Omax against Zone B runners up Dummen Orange at Ronald Ngala grounds as Simba Apparel take on EWASCO in a match slated for Makande Shimanzi Primary School Grounds.
Winners in both semis will lock horns in the grand finals set for Sunday at 1pm at the same venue with the finalists earning automatic promotion to Football Kenya Federation Division One Zone A.
FKF Northern Zone Secretary General Lilian Kaingu congratulated all qualified teams and assured all arrangements are in place to make the event memorable.
Seven teams have already been relegated from FKF Division One Zone A with Dandora Youth, Gor Mahia Youth, Liberty Sports Academy, Balaji EPZ, Buruburu Sports, Dimba Patriots and Vapor Sports all facing the dreaded drop.
