St. Mary's Stadium-Kitende is a Ugandan sports stadium for the Sports Club Vipers SC, a football club playing in Uganda's top league Uganda Premier League.[1] Its capacity is 15,000 with more than 1,000 VIP seats.
On 3 March 2017, the African football governing body, CAF, cleared the then newly constructed St Mary's Stadium to host football games.[2] St. Mary's stadium is the home of SC Vipers, located in Kitende on Entebbe Road and was built by the club patron and former FUFA president, Lawrence Mulindwa.
It is an artificial turf pitch stadium. It is the second largest stadium in Uganda next to the Mandela National Stadium.[3]
The National team has relocated to the stadium after the Mandela National Stadium was blacklisted by FIFA and CAF in 2020.[4]
