Vipers SC will proudly take UPL title if awarded today – Kajoba

Vipers SC coach Fred Kajoba has stated he will proudly lift the Uganda Premier League (UPL) trophy if the organisers decide to end the season today owing to the coronavirus effect.

Enjoying a four-point cushion over second-placed side and champions KCCA FC after 25 matches, Vipers can, by law, be granted the league title in case the Covid-19 pandemic spills out of control.

Article 18 of the Fufa Competition Rules and Regulations on ‘Failure to Complete the League’ states where the league format, due to circumstances of force majeure, fails to be completed within the season, the winner will be determined if at least one club has played 75 per cent of the league games.
