Ssenfuka: Vipers SC midfielder leads newcomers to celebrate maiden UPL title

Vipers SC newcomers, led by Rahmat Ssenfuka, have celebrated winning the Uganda Premier League (UPL) crown in their first season with the club.

The Venoms were crowned the top-flight champions after the Federation of Uganda Football Association (Fufa) moved to end the 2019-20 season owing to the coronavirus pandemic.

With five matches remaining to the end of the season, Fufa applied a rule that if more than 75 percent of the league’s games had been played by the time the season was suspended on March 18, they can use the current league standings to decide the season's outcome.
