FOOTBALL What next for playmaker Allan Okello after ending Paradou marriage?
Okello played 16 matches in his first season at Paradou, scoring once before adding another two goals the following campaign.
"Because of the tight schedule at hand, KCCA FC have continental football, and Vipers just played on the continent, so we can't seem to find a common ground."
"We also don't have a venue (neutral) for the game, so hopefully, when everything settles, we can have the game played even midway through the season; I don't think that's wrong," Nalule added.
While the 2023/2024 season starts this Friday, KCCA FC will be on the continent; they face Libyan side Abu Salem FC in the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round.
