In an Azam Uganda Premier League game played at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitemde between hosts SC Vipers and visitors SC Villa, violent scenes were witnessed at the Stadium.

Rowdy SC Villa fans inflicted a lot of damages to the stadium, which are expected to be over Shs10 million.

The Club at the giving-end has come out with a statement, explaining the unfortunate incident at Kitende.

“SC Villa Jogoo wishes to condemn the acts of hooliganism at the concluded game against Vipers on Saturday, 23rd September 2017 at Kitende,” writes SC Villa CEO Valley Mugwanya.

“We wish to express our concern at people masquerading as Club Sponsors to dent SC Villa image.”

The game in question was won by hosts SC Vipers following the lone strike by former KCCA FC player Tom Masiko at the half-hour mark.

Villa fans threw water bottles filled with urine to the VIP section, sang obscene songs and broke the Stadium’s fence when referee Alex Muhabi denied their club a penalty after Shafic Bakaki seemed to have handled the ball inside the penalty area.

“We blame the police for having failed to manage the few people who were ring leaders in the act of hooliganism, throwing bottles onto the pitch and VIP section which the police failed to arrests the culprits,” further reads the statement.

Mugwanya ended the statement claiming that SC Villa management had no involvement in all acts of hooliganism and violence caused that day.

SC Villa is now seventh on the Azam Uganda Premier League table with just 4 points collected from their 3 league games; winning one, drawing one and losing the other.

Next on SC Villa’s menu is an Azam Premier League home game against Mbarara City at Masaka Recreation ground on Saturday September 30.
