All set as Kibera Soccer, Vihiga Queens clash in FKF Women’s Cup final

This thrilling encounter promises to showcase the best of women’s football in Kenya, as two formidable teams battle for supremacy in the prestigious tournament.

The match was initially scheduled for Saturday June 14, but had to be postponed by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to allow the national women’s team, Harambee Starlets, to participate in the 2025 CECAFA Senior Women’s Championship, which culminated on Sunday in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Kibera Soccer Women, who stormed into the final after a commanding 2-0 win over reigning FKF Women's Premier League champions Kenya Police Bullets in the semifinal, will now be eyeing national glory as they face Vihiga Queens in what promises to be a fierce and thrilling showdown.

On their part, Vihiga Queens will be gunning for the title, with former Plateau Queens forward Swaumu Masungo expected to lead the charge.

The four-time Kenyan Women’s Premier League champions booked their spot in the final with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Bungoma Queens in the semifinals.

Speaking during training at their Woodley grounds, Kibera Soccer head coach David Vijago said, “Vihiga Queens is a very tough team. The last time we faced them, we won narrowly through a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. This is a big game, and we are not leaving anything to chance, we are determined to win. We are mentally and physically prepared for the game. Our players are highly motivated, and winning this match would mean a lot to the team.”

Kerubo Momanyi, FKF NEC Women’s Representative, added: "This final is a celebration of the strides we’ve made in women’s football. We encourage fans to come out in large numbers to support these incredible athletes as they inspire the next generation."

This year’s cup will see new champions crowned after three-time winners Ulinzi Starlets were knocked out in the quarterfinals, following a dramatic 4-3 penalty shootout loss to Kibera Soccer Women.
