Kenya Police FC have clinched their first-ever FKF Premier League title after securing a 1-1 draw against record champions Gor Mahia in a tense final-day showdown held at the Ulinzi Sports Complex in Nairobi. The result saw the law enforcers finish the season with 65 points, crowning a remarkable rise in Kenya’s top-flight football since their promotion in the 2020/21 season.
Police FC’s journey to the summit has been progressive and inspiring: they finished 10th in their debut season, then rose to fourth and third in the following two campaigns. With this league triumph, Kenya Police FC will represent Kenya in the CAF Champions League next season for the first time in their history.
Meanwhile, Gor Mahia, who were hoping to defend their title, settled for second place. However, they still have a shot at continental football as they prepare to face Nairobi United in the FKF Cup final. A win would guarantee them a ticket to the CAF Confederation Cup.
Relegation Battle Ends in High Drama
The 2024/25 FKF Premier League also featured one of the fiercest relegation battles in recent memory, with five teams fighting to avoid the drop on the final day.
- Murang’a Seal avoided relegation by defeating Talanta FC 1-0 at Murang’a Stadium, lifting them to 13th place and securing safety.
- Posta Rangers, who finished 16th, will face Naivasha-based Naivass FC—runners-up in the National Super League—in a playoff to retain their top-tier status.
- Talanta FC and Nairobi City Stars were not as fortunate. Finishing in 17th and 18th place respectively, both teams have been relegated to the National Super League for the 2025/26 season.
With Kenya Police FC making history and the league witnessing intense drama at both ends of the table, the 2024/25 FKF Premier League season has delivered unforgettable moments and a promising outlook for Kenyan football.
