That day, the 12-time league champions became the first Ugandan club to progress to the Caf Champions League group stage. The 1-0 win against St George at Lugogo ensured KCCA FC made history.

It was a thrilling end to a closely contested championship as even on the last day Vipers had to come from a goal down in the final game to confirm their supremacy over KCCA. Their rivals nevertheless got sweet revenge as they halted Vipers’ dream of a double chase by defeating them n the Uganda Cup final.
