Vipers found themselves on the wrong side of FUFA when they failed to release players for the Cranes' tour to Kitara Region in September 2015.

FUFA might be forced to adjust the date for the upcoming Cranes tour to the Eastern Region as the fixture clashes with the Uganda Cup semifinal second leg match between Vipers and Soltilo Bright Stars.

In the list provided earlier by the federation, up to six Vipers Players have been called to play the match that is slated for Tuesday 30th, May, the same date the Venoms are set to play Bright Stars.

With SC Villa leading the Uganda Premier League table, Vipers might have to put all their focus on the Cup for any chance of silverware.

The summoned players include captain Milton Karisa, Ashiraf Mandela, Issa Mubiru, Rogers Torach, Siraje Sentamu and Bright ANukani.

Vipers will head into the second leg with a 4-0 advantage over the Kavumba side.

FUFA is using the tour as part of Uganda Cranes' preparations for the penultimate Group F qualifier of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations against Algeria.

Vipers found themselves on the wrong side of FUFA when they failed to release players for the Cranes' tour to Kitara Region in September 2015..

FUFA temporarily withdrew the licenses of four players, including Ismail Watenga, Deus Bukenya, James Alitho and Keziron Kizito.

At that time, the Venoms were preparing for two crucial league matches against KCCA and SC Villa.
