Vipers SC will play their first Uganda Premier League game of the season this Saturday 1st November against Entebbe UPPC FC.

The Venoms will visit the Abdallah Mubiru coached side at the Fisheries Ground in Bugonga, Entebbe hoping for a winning start.

Vipers endured a painful elimination from the CAF Champions League last Friday after losing (3-2 on aggregate) to Zambia’s Power Dynamos in the final qualification round.

Losing to Power Dynamos meant that Vipers missed out on an opportunity to qualify for the lucrative CAF Champions League group stages.

The Venoms are the only side yet to play a single game in the Uganda Premier League this Season having been engaged in the CAF Inter club competition.

Under the stewardship of Belgian coach Ivan Minnaert, the Venoms will be striving to defend their league title having won a domestic double last season.
