The kick off time of the CAF Champions League clash between Vipers and Tanzania’s Simba SC has been confirmed.
Vipers will host Simba on Saturday 25th February at 7pm at the St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende.
This will be the first ever competitive game played under the newly installed floodlights.
Earlier last month during the unveiling of the current Vipers coach Beto Bianchi, Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa confirmed that the club will host night games as soon as the installation process of the floodlights concludes.
