Kenya Police Bullets Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chris Oguso has said that they will use their end of the season match against Bunyore Starlets as a friendly clash ahead of the CAF Champions League/Cecafa qualifiers tournament slated for August in Ethiopia

The law enforcers are poised for coronation on Wednesday June 26, 2024 as the 2023/24 season culminates.

The match against Bunyore which was earlier scheduled to be played at Mumboha Stadium in Vihiga has been moved to Mamboleo Stadium in Kisumu.

"I congratulate the ladies for winning the title without conceding a single match going to our final match to us will be as a training being that we already won the league earlier enough.

‘Our first Cecafa match is slated for August 17 and it's not that far, we need to hit the preparation camp immediately after the league ends.

“I can say the title win has been made possible due to proper coordination of the technical bench head by Coach Beldine Odemba.

“Also the Kenya Police Services has given the girls maximum support and we are looking forward to continue with the same spirit ahead of Cecafa and the next season"

This is their first title since they adopted a new name from Thika Queens, with their stellar campaign seeing amass an impressive 46 points from 21 matches so far.

The second place has been secured by Vihiga Queens while Ulinzi Starlets settled for third place.

Gaspo Women and Trans Nzoia Falcons have already been relegated, while Soccer Assassins and Zetech Sparks are vying to avoid the axe.

Currently, Zetech Sparks are three points ahead of Soccer Assassins and have an inferior goal difference.

With no more games to play, they hope Soccer Assassins do not win their match at Wolves Den, Kajiado.

 It will take a miraculous 7-0 win for Soccer Assassins against fourth-placed Kibera Soccer Ladies FC for them to secure their place in the FKFWPL 2024/25 season.

The race for the golden boot has heated up over the season, with Vihiga Queens' Tumaini Waliaula leading with 15 goals, Kenya Police Bullets' Purity Alukwe second with 14 goals, Rebecca Okwaro with 13 goals, and Nancy Atako with 12 goals.

As the 2023/24 season of FKF WPL draws to a close, all eyes are on Kenya Police Bullets for their imminent coronation.

While they celebrate their championship, the battle at the other end of the table will also be intense.
