Kenya Police FC have made history by winning their first-ever FKF Premier League title, capping off the 2024-2025 season in style.
The milestone was sealed after a 1–1 draw against reigning champions Gor Mahia in a high-stakes showdown at the Ulinzi Sports Complex on Sunday, June 22.
The clash kicked off at 3 PM, with Police FC quickly setting the pace.
Just moments after the whistle, Brian Okoth nearly opened the scoring with a diving header from a Tyson Otieno corner, but Gor Mahia’s defense cleared it off the line.
Despite their early dominance, Police FC fell behind in the 21st minute when Shariff Musa netted the opener for Gor Mahia.

The 1–1 draw was enough for Police FC to secure the title, finishing the season with 65 points; six clear of Gor Mahia’s 59.
