Vipers will officially begin their 2020 Stanbic Uganda Cup with a short trip to Wankulukuku on Wednesday 22nd to take on Kajjansi United in what has been dubbed as the Entebbe Road Derby.

Unlike their illustrious neighbours, Kajjansi United, a Buganda Regional League outfit, will for the first time feature in the tournament’s Round of 64 stage.

Vipers will be hoping to burry their disappointing 1-0 defeat to SC Villa in the league with a commanding victory against the third tier side.

The game comes a day after Vipers SC skipper Halid Lwaliwa and his Kajjansi United brother Solomon Tumusiime lost their mother.

Defender Bashir Asiku and Midfielder Siraje Sentamu are also ruled out the tie.
