In a bid to strengthen their side, Vipers secured a sponsorship package from Roofings group for their newly established St Mary's stadium in  Kitende.

The sh500m two year deal will ensure that Roofings group brand the stadium. The sponsorship was unveiled today by Roofings qroup executive director Oliver Javid Lalani to Vipers patron Lawrence Mulindwa at the Golf course hotel in Kampala.

 


"In Vipers we preach and ensure transparency and accountability. So there will be value for your money,"stated Mulindwa. Roofing joins Hima Cement who are the shirt sponsors of the club till 2018 to a tune of sh623m.

Vipers have become the third local club in the topflight to own a sponsored stadium after Onduparaka and KCCA. The Roofings group package came in effect at the start of March.

 

This development comes after Africa soccer governing body (CAF) on Thursday approved Vipers to use St Mary's stadium in Kitende for their CAF games.

The permission came after CAF inspector Nicholas Musonye on Tuesday this week visited the facility before making a final report to clear St Mary's stadium for the CAF Confederation Cup tie against Platinum Stars slated for next Saturday.
