The Venoms confirmed the development in a statement released on Thursday, 2nd October 2025.
“Vipers Sports Club informs it’s fans, stakeholders, football lovers and the General public that the club shall not participate in the new league format double header game against Kitara FC scheduled for this Saturday, October 4th, 2025 at Namboole stadium until FUFA formally and respectfully responds to the issues raised in our various correspondences and petitions against the new league format and reforms.”
“Vipers SC appreciates the support and encouragement from the fans, genuine football lovers and all stakeholders in the pursuit for integrity of the game and a league that listens to and respects all stakeholders.”
Earlier today, Vipers didn’t send their coach and captain for the pre-match press conference that was held at Kati Kati restaurant in Lugogo.
