Thanks to their remarkable record at home, Vipers SC not only managed to defend their Uganda Premier League title but also secure their first-ever domestic double.

The Venoms have transformed St. Mary's Stadium, Kitende into an impenetrable fortress, where achieving positive results has become a delightful routine.

Vipers' last domestic home defeat occurred almost two years ago in November 2021, when they were beaten 2-0 by URA FC, courtesy of goals from Joachim Ojera and Cromwell Rwothomio.

This took place during the 2021/22 campaign, which they subsequently triumphed in, clinching the league title with an impressive 74 points - a comfortable 16 points clear of runners-up KCCA FC.

Since then, the Kitende side have played 35 home matches, remaining undefeated with six draws and an impressive 29 victories.

In the previous season, Vipers triumphed in 11 league games at St Mary's Stadium, securing three draws and suffering no losses out of the 14 matches played.

They netted a respectable 32 goals, including five each against Express FC and Busoga United, while conceding just four times in front of their devoted supporters.

Across all competitions, including the CAF Champions League, Vipers have only experienced a single defeat (a 1-0 loss against Simba SC) since November 27th, 2022.

This season, Vipers will rely on their home brilliance as a powerful weapon in their pursuit of success in both the Uganda Cup and the Uganda Premier League.
