Police Bullets eye CECAFA Final, Champions League qualification

The law enforcers cruised into the last four following a convincing 3-1 victory over Burundian giants Top Girls Academy in their final group-stage match on Wednesday, August 27, at the Pelé Stadium in Kigali.

The victory sets up a high-stakes semi-final clash against the South Sudanese side on Saturday at the Pelé Stadium in Kigali, with kick-off scheduled for 4:00 p.m. EAT. Yei Joint Stars made club history by advancing to the regional knockout stage for the first time.

“I thank my players for yesterday’s win. They really showed up when we needed them the most because if Top Girls had won, they could have topped the group. But now we have finished as Group C leaders. We have maintained a 100 per cent record so far, and ahead of the semi-final, I’m urging my girls to stay focused and work extra hard for the win. We want to play in the CAF Women’s Champions League, something that would be historic for us, and I believe it’s achievable,” said Vijago.

Kenya Police Bullets have matched that intensity from the opening whistle of the tournament.

They kicked off their campaign with a statement 2-1 victory over Tanzanian powerhouses Simba Queens, establishing early momentum as they look to redeem themselves after narrowly missing out on continental qualification last season.

The other semi-final will pit Uganda’s Kawempe Muslim against Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE).

With six regional champion spots up for grabs across Africa, the law enforcers are now just two wins away from booking their place in the main CAF Women’s Champions League tournament.

The final will be played on August 31, 2026.
