The Zambia army sponsored outfit qualified after Lumwana Radiants edged Nkwazi 1-0.
William Kamwanga’s late strike was enough to deny Nkwazi a place who just needed a draw to secure a place as the seventh Super League team.
Buffaloes join ZESCO United, Kabwe Warriors, Nkana, Power Dynamos, Red Arrows and Green Eagles as the team’s from the Super League who have qualified.
Buffaloes have been poor in the last five games losing two and drawing three hence this qualification will be a welcome relief for Masauso Tembo and his technical bench.
