Newly crowned Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League champions Kenya Police FC have been challenged to show their mighty by beating outgoing champions Gor Mahia when the two sides clash in the final fixture of the season on Sunday.

Police were finally crowned winners of the 2024/25 season following their 1-0 win against Shabana FC in Machakos County last Sunday. The win courtesy of a headed goal from Brian Otieno, ensured that Police reached an unassailable 64 points with a game to spare. They won the title after registering 18 wins, 10 draws and suffering five defeats.

Ahead of their coronation on Sunday at Ulinzi Sports Complex, Munga has challenged Police players to ensure that they wind up the season on a high.

“We have one last match to go,” said Munga as quoted by Flashscore. “We want to finish this league in style, and champions never lose, so on Sunday, we must prepare ourselves well, and then we go there and attack our last match like wounded buffaloes.

“In honesty, I don’t expect us to lose that last match, just a few days after winning our maiden title, it will be really bad (if we lose). So let us get ready to win the game, and show our rivals that we are ready for next season, the new season begins now, and it starts with the final game against Gor Mahia.”

On ending Gor Mahia’s dominance as the champions for the last two seasons, Munga said: “So far so good, everybody is happy, my own bosses are excited, all the fans are happy, personally I am happy and all the Kenyans are happy, because the monopoly, the jealous outcry that this league belongs to so and so, so, and so, we have come to teach them that this is football made in Kenya Police.

“We warn them (the rivals) that now we have arrived, and will continue like this (to dominate), heading into the new season, the league is not about Gor Mahia or Tusker, we have shown that any other team can also take it. If you ask me, a change of guard at the summit is also good for the Kenyan top-flight, by not always having one team dominating the league.”

By virtue of winning the league, Police will represent Kenya at the lucrative CAF Champions League for the new season.
