Kibera Soccer Women will clash with Vihiga Queens in the 2025 FKF Women’s Cup final, set for Saturday, June 28, at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru. The match is scheduled to kick off at 2:00 PM and is expected to be a fiercely competitive showdown between two teams with strong motivation to finish the season with silverware.
Initially slated for June 14, the final was rescheduled by the Football Kenya Federation to accommodate the national women’s team, Harambee Starlets, who were participating in the CECAFA Senior Women’s Championship in Tanzania. With the regional tournament now concluded, focus shifts to domestic honors as two of the country’s top sides prepare for battle.
Kibera Soccer Women have been the surprise package of the tournament, enjoying an inspiring cup run that has captured the imagination of fans. Their path to the final has been anything but easy, having knocked out defending champions Ulinzi Starlets 4-3 on penalties in a dramatic quarterfinal clash. They then stunned FKF Women’s Premier League winners Kenya Police Bullets with a clinical 2-0 win in the semifinals, underlining their credentials as serious contenders.
Despite not being one of the traditional powerhouses in women’s football, Kibera’s spirited performances have shown tactical discipline, resilience, and a hunger to make history by winning their first major title. The squad will enter the final high on confidence, knowing they’ve already beaten some of the best in the competition.
Their opponents, Vihiga Queens, bring a wealth of experience and pedigree to the contest. The four-time FKF Women’s Premier League champions are no strangers to high-stakes matches and will be eager to reassert their dominance after a season that saw them finish a disappointing fourth in the league standings. They reached the final by defeating Bungoma Queens 2-1 in the semis and now have their eyes firmly set on lifting the cup.
For Vihiga, the match presents an opportunity to salvage what has otherwise been a below-par campaign. A cup win would not only be a morale booster but also reinforce their status as one of Kenya’s elite women’s football clubs.
With both teams eyeing the FKF Women’s Cup as their only shot at silverware this season, the final promises excitement, passion, and a showcase of emerging and established talent on the national stage.
