Following a Fufa Appeals committee judgement after Vipers challenged the Fufa player status committee ruling, the Venoms have officially released Pius Wangi and Ashraf Mandela to join SC Villa.
The Fufa Players status committee first ruled in favour of players to join a club of their own but Vipers appealed the decision which left the players without a right to kick a ball since the season started.
The Appeals committee set aside the earlier ruling after failing to find evidence that the players were forcefully loaned hence instructed the players to fulfill their contractual obligations with Vipers.
In reference to the Appeals committee decision, SC Villa initiated talks with Vipers which eventually bore fruits and a mutual consent was agreed between the club and the two players allowing them to exit legally.
Peter Lwanga, the Vipers CEO in two separate letters to the Villa CEO agreed to release the players and wished them well.
“The club hereby notifies you that Vipers SC management has released Pius Wangi/ Mandela who has been a contracted player to your club (SC Villa)….” read part of the letter seen by Kawowo Sports.
“The club wishes him (them) a successful career going forward.
