Nyale calls for reinforcements as Police Bullets eye CAF Women's Champions League berth

Kenya Police Bullets chairperson Munga Nyale called for squad reinforcement ahead of their CAF Women's Champions League CECAFA qualifiers after clinching the 2025-26 title.

The law enforcers bagged their third successive FKF WPL title after edging Madira Soccer Assassins 1-0 in their final match of the season at Police Sacco Stadium on Sunday.

They ended the season with 52 points, eight points above second-placed Ulinzi Starlets, as Trinity Starlets closed the top three following an impressive season.

With the domestic title secured, Bullets will now turn their attention to the CECAFA qualifiers, where they will be looking to book a place in the CAF Women’s Champions League and continue their impressive rise on the continental stage.

The CECAFA tourney is scheduled for August 22 to September 6, 2026, in Kigali, Rwanda.

"First I want to congratulate the girls for the good fight throughout the season, winning the Women Premier League title for the third time was not an easy task.

We have now embarked on bolstering our squad ahead of the CECAFA tournament with an aim to qualify for the first time in the CAF Women's Champions League.

“We are in talks with some players who will fuel our dream to take part in the continent's showpiece."

Nyale, however, hailed all their opponents for giving them tough times in securing the title.

"I also want to congratulate all our opponents who took part in the just concluded season. They have us fair competition, and that's why we won.

“The level we have attained now, I don't see losing the title soon, so they should prepare for a tough task next season."

Kenya Police Bullets have previously finished as runners-up and second runners-up in their consecutive appearances at the CAF Women’s Champions League CECAFA Zonal Qualifiers.

In 2024, they put on a spectacular performance, advancing all the way to the tournament final before ultimately falling 1-0 to the host Central Bank of Ethiopia (CBE).

Despite missing out on the ultimate trophy, they secured a highly impressive second-place finish in their debut.
