Abud Omar left Tuesday night\u2019s Kenya Police FC awards gala as the man of the moment, picking up\u00a0 Most Valuable Player, Defender of the Season and Goal of the Season honours at a ceremony held at Nairobi Serena hotel.<\/strong>
\nThe event brought together club administrators, senior figures from the National Police Service, players, and coaching staff to mark the close of the 2025\/26 season for both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s sides.
\nIt was a season of mixed fortunes for the men\u2019s team. A third-place finish in the FKF Premier League was followed by heartbreak in the Mozzart Bet Cup, where Kenya Police fell 2-1 to Tusker in the final at Kwale Stadium, missing out on what would have been only their second title in that competition.
\nThe women\u2019s team, Kenya Police Bullets, fared considerably better, clinching a third straight FKF Women\u2019s Premier League crown \u2014 a result that books their place in the CECAFA qualifying rounds for the CAF Women\u2019s Champions League in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\nElsewhere on the men\u2019s side, new arrival Yves Koutiama also had a night to remember, collecting both the Signing of the Season and Golden Boot awards after a strong first campaign at the club.
\nThe women\u2019s honours were spread among several players. Ugandan forward Margaret Kunihira took the MVP title, Elizabeth Ochaka was named Defender of the Season, and Lorna Nyarinda claimed Midfielder of the Season. Diana Ochola picked up the Young Player award, while goalkeeper Annedy Kundu was recognised as the season\u2019s best shot-stopper. Emily Moranga received the Most Improved Player honour, Terry Engesha\u2019s goal against Ulinzi Starlets was voted Goal of the Season, and longtime supporter Praxides Mushira \u2014 known to fans as Afande Cele \u2014 was named Fan of the Season.<\/p>\n

\nAddressing attendees, Kenya Police Deputy Patron Eliud Lagat pledged continued investment in the club\u2019s facilities and player development, expressing confidence that the team is building toward sustained success on the continental stage.<\/p>\n
