In a poignant announcement, StarTimes Uganda Premier League reigning champions, Vipers Sports Club, have officially confirmed the departure of midfielder Abdu Lumala, marking the end of a successful tenure with the Venoms.
The 26-year-old dynamo, a proud alumnus of St Mary’s Secondary School, Kitende, first gained recognition with the school team before making waves on the European stage in 2015. Lumala, known for his blistering pace, graced the Vipers SC lineup for two seasons, having joined as a free agent in July 2022. His departure comes as he embarks on a new chapter, pursuing a promising opportunity elsewhere.
During his stint with the club, the versatile winger showcased his prowess in 20 appearances, netting three goals and contributing five assists. Notably, Lumala exits as a double champion, having played a pivotal role in securing both the Uganda Premier League and Stanbic Uganda Cup titles in the 2022/23 season.
A standout moment in Lumala’s Vipers SC journey was his integral contribution to the team’s historic triumph over TP Mazembe in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo. This victory propelled Vipers SC into the CAF Champions League group stages for the first time in the club’s storied history.
Prior to his tenure with Vipers SC, Lumala’s football odyssey took him through various clubs, including Mjallby AIF (2015), Kalmar FF (2016-2019), Varbergs BoIS (2017), Helsingborgs IF (2017), IFK Varnamo (2018), Syrianska FC (2019), and Pyramids (2019). His departure leaves a void in the squad, but the legacy of his achievements will undoubtedly endure in the annals of Vipers SC history.

- Uganda Martyrs Face Kawempe Test with Top Spot at Stake | Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League
The central contest is likely to be between Uganda Martyrs’ scoring threat and Kawempe’s unbeaten defence. With an average of 2.5 goals per game, the leaders have demonstrated their ability to make chances count. Kawempe, by contrast, have yet to concede, suggesting that their defensive organisation has been effective. The challenge for Uganda Martyrs is to find a way through without losing the attacking rhythm that has brought them six points. - KCCA Women Held by Makerere as Missed Chances Define Goalless Draw | Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League
The goalless draw was a story of opportunities missed and defensive interventions that mattered. KCCA had enough chances to win the match but could not find the finishing touch, while Makerere remained resilient and came within inches of claiming victory at the death. - Makerere Out to Halt KCCA’s Unbeaten Start | Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League
The statistics favour KCCA, but the one-point difference between the sides leaves little room for complacency. Makerere will need to be more effective in possession and clinical in front of goal, while KCCA will seek to turn their defensive confidence into another three-point result. - Vula’s Debut Header Gives Uganda Cranes Victory Over Libya
