Vipers SC have intensified pressure on the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA), accusing the governing body of allowing uncertainty to cloud the Uganda Premier League after months of inaction over their postponed clash with Kitara FC.
The defending champions say the unresolved fixture, originally slated for October 4, has become a symbol of administrative drift, with no clear guidance issued despite repeated attempts to seek direction from FUFA’s Competitions Committee. According to the club, their most recent correspondence, sent in mid-November, has gone unanswered.
At the heart of Vipers’ argument is the collapse of the controversial league format that had triggered their protest and led to the postponement of the match. With FUFA later abandoning that framework, Vipers insist the circumstances surrounding the delay have fundamentally changed, making continued indecision untenable.
The Kitende-based side contend that leaving the fixture unresolved has skewed the league standings, unfairly affecting how teams are assessed, particularly on points per game. They further warn that pushing the match deeper into the season could create unnecessary congestion, exposing players to burnout and injuries.
Vipers are now calling for swift action, urging FUFA to slot the Kitara encounter into the ongoing league cycle and to rule out any possibility of a boardroom verdict such as forfeiture. The club maintains that league outcomes must be settled on the pitch, not through administrative rulings.
With patience wearing thin, Vipers have set a January 4, 2026 deadline for a formal response, cautioning that continued silence will force them to pursue the matter through higher football authorities and legal avenues.
