Kenya Police FC secures Ksh 25 million sponsorship from Co-operative Bank for the 2025/26 season.
Kenya Police FC, the reigning Kenya Premier League champions, has secured a KSh 25 million sponsorship package from Co-operative Bank of Kenya. The deal, launched in Nairobi on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, is one of the largest financial boosts in the club’s history.
The agreement makes Co-operative Bank the official shirt sponsor of the club throughout the 2025/26 season.
Funds from the deal will cover player welfare, technical support, logistics, and youth development structures.
Club patron and Interior PS Raymond Omollo welcomed the sponsorship, linking it to the team’s ambitions locally and in continental football.
“We are deeply grateful to the Bank for this timely support, which comes as the Club, reigning champions of last season’s Kenya Premier League, continues to fly our flag high in the ongoing CAF tournament,” he said.
Omollo added that proper funding would help the club remain competitive and build a sustainable footballing institution.
Co-operative Bank officials described the partnership as part of their social responsibility efforts.
“Football remains a unifying force in Kenya, and through this sponsorship, we want to inspire young people, support law enforcement officers, and promote positive values on and off the field,” the bank stated.
Kenya Police FC are representing Kenya in the 2025/26 CAF Champions League after lifting the FKF Premier League title last season.
CAF has enhanced support for clubs in the preliminary rounds, with each team receiving USD 100,000 (≈ Ksh 13–14 million) to help cover travel and match expenses.
The law enforcers advanced to the Second Preliminary Round after eliminating Mogadishu FC on away goals following a 3-3 aggregate. They will now face Al Hilal Omdurman of Sudan.
The deal comes at a time when many Kenyan clubs are struggling financially. Most rely heavily on single-patron or sponsor funding, leaving them vulnerable when funds dry up.
Unpaid salaries, delayed payments, and a lack of commercial revenue streams have plagued local football. Broadcasting rights, match-day revenue, and merchandise sales remain underdeveloped compared to other African leagues.
The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) itself is weighed down by an estimated KSh 600 million debt, affecting its ability to support clubs and national teams.
However, domestic rewards have slightly improved. The KPL champion now earns Ksh 15 million, runners-up Ksh 3 million, and third place Ksh 2 million, raising the total prize money for the top three to Ksh 20 million.
This sponsorship gives Kenya Police FC a significant edge as they seek to retain their league crown and make history in continental competition.
