Covid-19: UPL Becomes First League To Declare Champions

By Sampson Adedeji

Vipers SC are now officially champions of the 2019/2020 Ugandan Premier League season after Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) asserted that the current league table will be taken as final.

Despite only playing 25 of the 30 games, Vipers SC have won the league with 54 points due to a section of the FUFA competition rules which states that the standings can be upheld if at least 75% of the matches were played before the suspension.

This is Vipers’ fourth league title, they most recently won in 2018.

Vipers loanee Steven Desse Mukwala is the league’s leading goalscorer with 13 goals. He is a goal ahead of Vipers’ Fahad Bayo and Police’s towering Ben Ocen.
