“It will be typical of night football, well lit  in that you can trace a missing niddle,” Vipers CEO Simon Peter Njuba media.

Since the stadium opened its gates to local and international football on March 11, 2017  – with a 1-0 triumph over South African side Platinum Stars, it has been all about daylight matches.

Vipers President Lawrence Mulindwa, acting on Caf and Fifa demands, went into an overdrive recently by installing floodlights at Kitende that now anable night matches.
