Uganda Premier League champions Vipers SC has included their new signings in the squad to compete at the 2026 CECAFA Kagame Cup in Kigali.
The regional club tournament will run from July 24 to August 7.
Among the new signings include attacking midfielder Farouk Miya who was unveiled on Tuesday, the day the team travelled to Rwanda.
Caesar Manzoki, goalkeeper Loyce Mbaba, Nicholas Mwere and Joel Sserunjogi are the other new additions who have made the travelling squad.
The Ugandan champions have been placed in Group A alongside Rwanda’s APR FC, Kenya’s Gor Mahia and Djibouti’s Garde Républicaine.
APR head into the tournament as Rwanda’s reigning champions after winning the 2025/26 BK Pro League title, extending their record to 24 league crowns and securing a seventh successive championship.
Gor Mahia also arrive as national champions, having lifted the 2025/26 FKF Premier League title for a record 22nd time.
Garde Républicaine, meanwhile, finished seventh in the recently concluded Djibouti Premier League.
The tournament will be played in a three-group format, with the winners of each group advancing directly to the semi-finals. They will be joined by the best-performing second-placed team to complete the last four.
