Mathare Women United just one win away from KWPL promotion

Speaking to Citizen Digital, head coach Anne Aluoch has emphasized the importance of the encounter, describing it as a defining moment in their season despite five matches still remaining on the calendar.

“We are approaching this game like a final, because we are one win away to be confirmed champions” she noted, underlining the team’s determination to wrap up the title race early and avoid any late-season pressure.

Mathare Women have been one of the standout teams this campaign, delivering consistent performances that have seen them dominate Zone A.

According to Aluoch, their impressive run has been built on thorough preparation and a strong mentality, particularly in away matches where they have managed to secure crucial wins.

“I can say it is because of adequate preparation, playing against the likes of Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards and Bandari is not easy," she added.

Their record speaks volumes. In 17 matches played so far, Mathare Women have registered 15 victories, one draw, and just a single defeat, form that has propelled them to the summit of the standings with 46 points.

They currently enjoy a comfortable 13-point cushion over their closest challengers, Bandari Queens, putting them in a commanding position as the season enters its final stretch.

A win against Gitothua would not only confirm their dominance but also mark a significant milestone for the club, earning them promotion to the top tier of women’s football.

With momentum firmly on their side, all eyes will be on Mathare Women United this weekend as they look to turn an already impressive season into a historic achievement.
