Bungoma Queens eye FKF Women’s Cup final as Vihiga showdown looms

Football Kenya Federation Women Premier League (FKF-WPL) side Bungoma Queens have set their sight on reaching the FKF Women’s Cup final after edging Trinity Starlets in the quarter-finals at the weekend.

Their victory earned Bungoma Queens highly anticipated semi-final clash against powerhouse Vihiga Queens, set to take place on Thursday.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Bungoma Queens head coach Godfrey Mabonga acknowledged the challenge that lies ahead but expressed confidence in his team’s ability to rise to the occasion.

“Facing Vihiga Queens will not be easy. They are an experienced side with a strong record in local competitions, but we have prepared well, and the girls are hungry for success,” Mabonga said.

Bringing together two successful premier league clubs with the final slot up for grabs, the clash is expected to be a thrilling encounter as both teams aim to win a medal after missing out on the league title.

Bungoma Queens, who have steadily built momentum throughout the tournament, will be looking to capitalize on their recent form and tactical discipline to overcome the three-time Women Premier League champions.

Queens will be banking on the creativity of their lethal forward Catherine Khaemba for goals.

The winner of Thursday’s showdown will advance to the FKF Women’s Cup final, where they will face the victor of the other semi-final clash between Kenya Police Bullets and Kibera Soccer Women.
