Final Day Drama: Police Bullets, Ulinzi Starlets Brace for Nail-Biting Season Finale

The FKF Women’s Premier League is set for a dramatic climax this Sunday, as defending champions Kenya Police Bullets FC and title hopefuls Ulinzi Starlets battle for the coveted crown in a final-day showdown that promises edge-of-your-seat action.

Kenya Police Bullets, coached by Beldine Odemba—who also heads the national women’s team, Harambee Starlets—sit at the summit of the table with 43 points. A single point against Trinity Starlets at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru will likely be enough to secure their second consecutive title. With a superior goal difference of +31 compared to Ulinzi’s +25, a draw would see them finish on 44 points—level with Ulinzi’s maximum possible tally—but with the crucial statistical advantage.

For Ulinzi Starlets, who host Kisumu All Starlets at the Ulinzi Sports Complex in Nairobi, the title chase is still alive. Currently on 41 points, they must win and hope that Kenya Police falters with a loss. In such a scenario, Ulinzi would leap to 44 points, clinching their first-ever league title. Alternatively, if Kenya Police draws, Ulinzi would need to defeat Kisumu All Starlets by a margin of more than seven goals—an unlikely but not impossible feat.

Both Kenya Police and Ulinzi have been remarkably consistent this season, with each side losing just once. Kenya Police boasts 12 wins and 7 draws, while Ulinzi has managed 11 wins and 8 draws. The title could very well be decided by the finest of margins.

Midfielder Lydia Waganda and goalkeeper Diana Tembesi of Kenya Police Bullets are on the verge of making history. A title win on Sunday would see both players claim a fifth FKF Women’s Premier League title, making them the only active players to reach that milestone. Waganda previously lifted the trophy three times with Thika Queens and once with Police, while Tembesi won three with Vihiga Queens before joining Police last season.

As the top end of the table ignites with title drama, the bottom half has already witnessed heartbreak. Wadadia, Bunyore Starlets, and Mombasa Olympic have all been relegated and will conclude their seasons playing for pride.

Here are the fixtures for the FKF Women’s Premier League season finale, with all matches kicking off at 2 PM EAT:
