NEC FC is set to kick off the 2024/25 StarTimes Uganda Premier League season with a challenging opener against Vipers SC at the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo on Sunday, 15 September 2025. As NEC FC gear up for a highly anticipated campaign, the team is determined to secure its first-ever victory against the Venoms, following one loss and three consecutive draws in previous encounters, including a league game and two FUFA Super 8 matches.
Cromwell Rwothomio and Niwamanya Dickson are the only NEC players who have found the back of the net against Vipers in past meetings. Alongside a strengthened squad under the tactical guidance of Head Coach Hussein Mbalangu, key contributions from Dudu Bosco, James Odoch, and Uganda's finest and youngest goalkeeping coach, Byuma Muwada, will be crucial as the team aims to break the winless streak against one of the league's top contenders.
With a renewed sense of ambition and a clear strategic focus, NEC FC is ready to make a statement in the league this season, starting with a fierce battle against Vipers.
With a week of fine-tuning, the lads are fired up to begin the campaign on a high note with the support of our dedicated fans. NEC FC appeals to fans to march together towards a season of triumphs and memorable moments!
Tickets remain priced at UGX 10,000 for Standard and UGX 50,000 for VIP.
