IVAN MINNAERT'S MAGIC: VIPERS' NEWFOUND CLARITY IS LEAGUE'S BIGGEST THREAT
Vipers SC are in scorching form and a win against Nec FC could temporarily send them top of the Uganda Premier League. Minnaert's tactical plan is working.
_1764938363.webp)
Minnaert’s plan for the Venoms seems to be working. They’re playing with more clarity, moving the ball quickly, combining well, and attacking open space with ease.
Vipers come to Lugogo on Friday looking like a team at the top of their game. They’re playing with power and precision, ready to compete for the championship.
The current champions have won against Entebbe UPPC, Maroons, Express, UPDF, and KCCA. The only points they dropped were in a tough 1–1 tie with SC Villa. Now, they’ve climbed to fourth place with 16 points from six games.
A win against NEC could put Ivan Minnaert’s team at the top of the Uganda Premier League, at least for a day. After that, KCCA (17 points) will play Bul on Sunday, and SC Villa (17 points) will visit Maroons.
There’s a feeling of excitement around tonight’s game at the MTN Omondi Stadium-Lugogo. Vipers are in great form, while NEC is still getting used to their new coach, Badru Kaddu.
NEC is currently ninth with 10 points from eight games. Their performance has been up and down, with only one win in their last four games. But they have the potential to surprise Vipers, who need to be careful despite their strong form.
Minnaert’s plan is starting to pay off. The Venoms are playing with growing clarity, transitioning quickly, combining well, and taking full advantage of space.
Their recent 5–1 win against UPDF felt like a sign that the team is finally working together. Gusto Mulongo scored twice, Robin Kane hit a long-range shot, Milton Karisa finished instinctively, and Allan Okello showed his playmaking skills. This shows how much offensive talent the Vipers have.
With Usama Arafat’s movement and Yunus Sentamu’s scoring ability, Minnaert has one of the best forward lines in the league.
Nec’s challenge tonight is as much mental as it is physical. Kaddu has suggested they’re improving, praising the team’s play and highlighting players like Marvin Kavuma, who scored against Maroons and continues to lead NEC’s attack.
I see my players improving and playing better. We still need to score more. Our goal is to compete, so we need to be better against the Vipers. I hope Marvin can help us again as we try to reach the top, Kaddu said after the 1-1 draw with Maroons on Saturday.
But to stop Vipers, Nec needs to be stronger defensively, avoid mistakes, and be quick in transition.
Recent games between these teams have been mixed. In the last four matches, Vipers have won twice, there has been one draw, and NEC has won once. This shows that either team can win if things go their way.
NEC’s best chance is to frustrate Vipers early, keep Okello from controlling the game, and strike on the counter with forwards like Kavuma, Paul Mucureezi, Cromwell Rwothomio, and Charles Waibi.
Earlier, at the Bombo Barracks, Paul Kiwanuka's UPDF, third from the bottom with six points from eight matches, will play Lugazi, who are tenth with nine points from as many games.
UGANDA NETBALL: SHE CRANES FOLLOW KENYA WIN WITH HUGE VICTORY OVER ZIMBABWE
The She Cranes secured a massive 60-38 victory over the Zimbabwe Gems, dominating after the first quarter tie. Uganda's second win sets up a clash with Namibia.
Uganda's She Cranes played a great game, beating Zimbabwe's Gems 60-38 in their second Africa Netball Cup match.
After a tied first quarter, the She Cranes took charge and won their second game in a row in Lilongwe, Malawi.
The first quarter was close, ending 12-12, which hinted at a tough match. But Uganda quickly turned things around and controlled the next three quarters.
After narrowly defeating Kenya 46-45 in their first game, the She Cranes began the second quarter by scoring off an early turnover to take a two-goal lead. They kept the pressure on the Gems, forcing three turnovers in four minutes, but Zimbabwe managed to stay close.
As halftime approached, defenders Gloria Aya and Shaffie Nalwanja made important intercepts, helping Uganda increase their lead to 26-20 at the half.
In the third quarter, Uganda really found their groove. The defence, with Shaffie, Aya, and Kadondi, was tough, causing many turnovers as Zimbabwe struggled with Uganda’s intensity. Lillian Achola's entry at wing attack brought speed and accuracy to the shooters, and the Gems had no answers.
Goal shooter Shadia Nassanga's accurate shots helped Uganda increase their lead, outscoring Zimbabwe by a large margin and entering the final quarter ahead 45-26.
In the final quarter, the She Cranes kept up their strong defence and smooth play. The Gems seemed overwhelmed and made more mistakes. Uganda could have won by an even bigger difference, but a slight lack of focus on offence in the last five minutes caused them to lose three centre passes. Even so, Nakitto's fresh energy on defence made sure Zimbabwe never caught up.
Uganda easily secured a 59-38 win, their second in two games.
The She Cranes will now rest before playing Namibia on Thursday to finish their group games.
Meanwhile, Uganda’s men’s team, The Rock, plays Zimbabwe tomorrow after beating Botswana 40-39 earlier today in their first match.
DONE DEAL: UGANDA CUBS STARS JAMES BOGERE & HAMZA SENGOOBA SIGN PRO CONTRACTS WITH DANISH LEADERS AGF
Ugandan youth stars James Bogere and Hamza Sengooba have signed their first long-term professional contracts, joining Danish Superliga leaders Aarhus GF's U19 team in February 2026.
James Bogere and Hamza Sengooba, two rising Ugandan soccer players, are moving up fast. They just signed their first pro contracts with Aarhus Gymnastikforening (AGF), a top club in Denmark.
Two teenage soccer players from Uganda are heading to Europe. Bogere James and Sengooba Hamza, both from El Cambio Soccer Academy and Masaka Sunshine Football Club, have signed transfer deals to play for Aarhus Gymnastikforening (AGF). AGF is currently in first place in the Danish league. El Cambio shared their excitement on social media, saying they're excited to see what the future holds for these young men.
Both players were part of the Uganda Cubs team that played in the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar. Bogere had some great moments, including scoring two goals during group play to help the team advance. He scored against Canada and France, and Uganda made it to the round of 32 before losing to Burkina Faso. Ssengooba, a defender, also played well during the tournament.
Bogere is now with the Uganda Cranes team, getting ready for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
