• Kenya Police Bullets FC secured their third straight FKF Women’s Premier League crown after defeating Madira Soccer Assassins 1-0 in their final match.
• The champions did not receive their promised KSh 1 million prize money during the trophy presentation ceremony at Police SACCO Grounds.
• FKF President Hussein Mohammed attended the event, but organisers omitted the traditional cheque presentation from the programme.
• Runners-up Ulinzi Starlets (KSh 500,000) and the third-placed team (KSh 250,000) also face uncertainty regarding their prize disbursement dates.
• The delay threatens to disrupt the champions’ preparations for the upcoming CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers.

Kenya Police Bullets FC lifted their third consecutive FKF Women’s Premier League trophy on Sunday. The victory ceremony took place at the Police SACCO Grounds in Nairobi. Coach David Vijago’s squad secured the title with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Madira Soccer Assassins in their final league fixture.

Despite the on-pitch success, the celebrations carried a disappointing undertone. Football Kenya Federation President Hussein Mohammed attended the high-profile event. However, organisers failed to present the customary dummy cheque to the newly crowned champions. The absence of the KSh 1 million prize presentation left players and officials seeking answers.

The federation had reportedly announced the cash rewards several weeks earlier. Yet no timeline now exists for when the funds will reach the club’s account. This administrative confusion extends beyond the champions. Ulinzi Starlets, who finished second, expect KSh 500,000. The bronze medallists await KSh 250,000. Neither side has received clarification about payment schedules.

This financial delay creates significant challenges for Kenya Police Bullets. The team must now prepare for the CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers. These continental competitions demand substantial resources for international travel and intensive training camps. The missing prize money represents an essential operational budget for the squad.

President Mohammed had previously addressed the crowd with optimistic promises. He pledged enhanced structures and increased support for the women’s top flight next season. However, the current administrative hurdle frustrates players and technical staff. It serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing obstacles facing women’s football development across the country.

• Kenya Police Bullets secure third straight FKF Women’s Premier League title with 1-0 win over Madira Soccer Assassins
• Rebecca Okwaro scores decisive goal assisted by golden boot winner Margaret “Maggy” Kunihira
• Head Coach David Vijago claims championship in his debut season at the club
• FKF President Hussein Mohammed presents trophy and pledges increased support for women’s football
• Champions now turn attention to CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers

Police Sacco Stadium erupted in celebration on Sunday afternoon as Kenya Police Bullets FC cemented their status as the dominant force in Kenyan women’s football. The law enforcement outfit captured an unprecedented third consecutive FKF Women’s Premier League title following a narrow 1-0 victory against Madira Soccer Assassins.

The triumph marks a historic three-peat for the champions, who have now defended their crown across three separate campaigns. This latest success came on the final day of the 2025/2026 season, leaving no room for mathematical errors and confirming their superiority over closest challengers Ulinzi Starlets, who finished second.

The breakthrough arrived through familiar attacking partnership. League top scorer and assist queen Margaret “Maggy” Kunihira turned provider, splitting the Assassins’ defence with a perfectly weighted pass. Rebecca Okwaro met the delivery with composure, slotting home the winner to spark wild scenes among the home supporters.

The victory holds particular significance for Head Coach David Vijago. The tactician joined the club at the start of this campaign from Kibera Soccer and has delivered the ultimate prize in his first season in charge. “The season has been good, we thank God,” Vijago reflected. “We haven’t had bad injuries, but all in all, we thank God. Our prayer was for us to win the league and that is exactly what we did.”

Football Kenya Federation President Hussein Mohammed led the post-match coronation alongside Vice President Mariga. The pair presented the winner’s medals and official WPL trophy to the jubilant squad. Mohammed praised the rising standards of the women’s game and promised enhanced structures and greater investment ahead of the next season.

With domestic honours secured, the Bullets now shift focus to continental competition. Coach Vijago and his squad will begin intensive preparations for the CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers later this year, where they aim to represent Kenya against Africa’s finest clubs.
