Ugandan club Vipers SC officially announced through their official platforms the arrival of Usama Arafat, a fast and dynamic forward, coming from their rival KCCA FC.
This transfer represents a major move in the Ugandan Premier League, where Usama had stood out before joining Vipers SC as a free agent.
Known for his agility and offensive impact, the forward leaves the Lugogo club to join Kitende, where he finds a familiar environment since he studied at St Mary’s Secondary School, an institution renowned for producing several local talents. This change is expected to significantly strengthen Vipers SC’s attack, the reigning champions, who are bolstering their national and continental ambitions.
This deal may displease KCCA FC supporters, especially as it follows the surprising transfer of Allan Okello, fueling tensions in the rivalry between these two giants of Ugandan football. The transfer of Usama Arafat is seen as a true strategic acquisition for Vipers SC in their quest for prolonged dominance.
The 32-year-old player also brings experience after playing for several national clubs, and his quick integration could prove decisive from the start of the new season. African football fans will now closely watch Vipers SC to see how this transfer affects their league performance.
