The ceremony brought together club officials, senior National Police Service officers, players, members of the technical bench, and other football stakeholders to celebrate the achievements of both the men’s and women’s teams following the conclusion of the 2025/26 campaign.
Although Kenya Police FC finished third in the FKF Premier League, the club enjoyed another successful season through its women’s side, Kenya Police Bullets, who secured a historic third consecutive FKF Women’s Premier League title.
The men's side narrowly missed out on clinching their second-ever Mozzart Bet Cup after losing 2-1 to Tusker in a final held at the Kwale Stadium.
Their league triumph earned them qualification for the upcoming CAF Women’s Champions League CECAFA qualifiers in Rwanda. Mid-season signing Yves Koutiama also enjoyed an impressive evening after claiming two individual honours, winning both the Signing of the Season and Golden Boot awards.
In the women’s category, Ugandan Margaret Kunihira emerged as the biggest winner after scooping a hat-trick of awards. The Ugandan forward was named Most Valuable Player (MVP), Golden Boot winner, and also received the Chairman's Award following an outstanding campaign for Kenya Police Bullets. Elizabeth Ochaka won Defender of the Season. Lorna Nyarinda was voted Midfielder of the Season, while Diana Ochola took home the Young Player of the Season award.
Custodian Annedy Kundu was named Goalkeeper of the Season, Emily Moranga received the Most Improved Player award, Terry Engesha’s strike against Ulinzi Starlets was voted Goal of the Season, and devoted supporter Praxides Mushira, popularly known as Afande Cele, was recognised as Fan of the Season.
Speaking during the gala, Kenya Police Deputy Patron Eliud Lagat reaffirmed the club’s commitment to sustained growth and excellence.
“We will continue investing in sports infrastructure and creating an environment where our players can compete successfully on the international stage,” said Lagat.
