Plascon reaffirms commitment to UPL champions Vipers

While several Uganda Premier League (UPL) clubs continue to struggle in attracting credible sponsorships, reigning champions Vipers SC have once again demonstrated the importance of proper organisation, professionalism and competitiveness in modern football.

Many local clubs often fail to secure long-term corporate backing not because sponsors are unavailable, but because companies prefer associating themselves with well-structured and ambitious institutions that reflect their values and brand image.

Vipers SC remain one of the few clubs in Ugandan football that have successfully built strong partnerships with reputable companies such as Plascon, Hima Cement and St. Mary’s Boarding Secondary School Kitende (SMASK), under the leadership of club president Lawrence Mulindwa.

The Venoms capped off another remarkable season on Saturday, May 23, when they were crowned champions of the 2025/26 UPL season at St Mary’s Stadium Kitende to secure the eighth league title in the club’s history and a fifth crown in the last seven campaigns.

Their latest triumph came in dominant fashion after completing the season unbeaten on the pitch in 29 matches winning with 67 points, further underlining their growing dominance in Ugandan football.

Following the title success, Plascon Uganda, one of the club’s major sponsors, praised Vipers for their consistency, ambition and professionalism, while reaffirming their commitment to continuing the partnership.

“We are extremely proud to celebrate this UPL triumph together with Vipers SC. Defending the title is never easy, and this achievement reflects the club’s discipline, ambition, consistency and winning mentality, values that strongly align with the Plascon brand,” said Benjamin Bicung, the Marketing Coordinator at Plascon.

“Over the years, this partnership has grown beyond sponsorship into a shared journey of excellence, and it is rewarding to see the club continue to raise the standard of Ugandan football both locally and on the continental stage,” he added.

Bicung further noted that the partnership reflects the brand’s belief in the power of sport to unite communities and inspire young people across the country.

“At Plascon, we believe football has the power to unite communities, inspire young people and create strong emotional connections with fans across the country. That is why our partnership with Vipers SC remains important to us,” he said.

“We congratulate the players, technical team, management and especially the fans whose support has been incredible throughout the season. As Plascon, we remain committed to supporting platforms that promote excellence, passion and national pride.”
