AFC Leopards, after a sluggish start to the 2025β2026 season, are now strong contenders in the SportPesa Premier League title race and remain unbeaten. The team secured a vital 2-0 victory over Mathare United, propelling them to within touching distance of the top two spots. In contrast, defending champions Kenya Police FC are struggling in the relegation zone. The club has appointed Serbian Dusan Stojanovic as its new head coach, following the departure of Etienne Ndayiragije. Meanwhile, newly promoted Nairobi United is also experiencing a difficult run of form.
