The stage is set for an electrifying showdown as Kibera Soccer Women’s FC and Vihiga Queens FC face off in the FKF Women’s Cup Final tomorrow, Saturday, 28th June 2025, at Afraha Stadium, Nakuru. Kickoff is at 2:00 PM.
This highly anticipated match promises a thrilling display of skill, determination, and passion as both teams vie for glory in Kenya’s premier women’s football tournament.
Road to the Final
Kibera Soccer Women stormed into the final after a stunning 2-0 victory over defending champions Kenya Police Bullets in the semifinals.
Vihiga Queens, four-time Kenyan Women’s Premier League winners, secured their spot with a hard-fought 2-1 win against Bungoma Queens.
The final was initially scheduled for 14th June but was postponed to allow Harambee Starlets to compete in the 2025 CECAFA Senior Women’s Championship in Tanzania.
Coaches and Players Ready for Battle
David Vijago, Kibera Soccer’s head coach, acknowledged the challenge ahead: “Vihiga Queens is a tough team. Last time, we won on penalties after a 1-1 draw. This time, we’re leaving nothing to chance—we’re here to win.”
Vihiga Queens will rely on star forward Swaumu Masungo, a former Plateau Queens player, to lead their attack.
