The stage is set for an electrifying finale as Kibera Soccer Women FC face off against Vihiga Queens FC in the FKF Women’s Cup Final on Saturday, June 29, at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru.

This year’s final promises not only high-stakes action but also a historic moment—a new champion will be crowned.

For the first time since the tournament’s inception, the title will change hands, bringing an end to Ulinzi Starlets’ three-year reign of dominance.

Both sides have endured fierce competition to reach this defining moment.

Vihiga Queens return to the Women’s Cup final for the first time since 2021, when they narrowly lost to Ulinzi Starlets in the tournament’s inaugural edition. Now, they’re back with a mission to claim the crown that eluded them.

Their 2025 campaign began in emphatic fashion with a 5-1 demolition of Iron Ladies in the round of 16. A tough quarterfinal followed against Eldoret Falcons, which ended 0-0 in regulation time.

Vihiga held their nerve in the shootout, winning 3-0. They then battled past Bungoma Queens 2-1 in the semifinals to book their place in the final.

For Kibera Soccer Women, this final is personal—a shot at redemption. After falling just short in last season’s final with a 2-1 defeat to Ulinzi Starlets, they’ve been on a determined mission to finish what they started.

Their campaign opened with a solid 2-0 win over Sunderland Samba. But their defining moment came in the quarterfinals, where they faced defending champions Ulinzi. After a tense goalless draw, Kibera held their nerve to win 4-3 on penalties, finally toppling the long-time champions.

They followed that up with a gritty victory over Kenya Police Bullets in the semifinals to earn a second straight shot at the title.

Vihiga Queens (in yellow) beat Bungoma Queens in semi-finals.

This clash is more than just a final—it’s a showdown between ambition and legacy. Vihiga Queens are hungry to add the Women’s Cup to their trophy cabinet.

Kibera Soccer Women are chasing a fairy-tale ending to their redemption story. June 29 promises drama, intensity, and history in the making.
