The men’s team have lined up a high profile friendly against Ugandan giants Vipers FC as part of its pre-season activities.
The PS further reached out to Youth Affairs, Creative Arts and Sports Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ababu Namwamba who attended the meeting alongside his Permanent Secretary (PS) Peter Tum and senior police officers, urging him to secure the teams an appointment with the President to discuss issues about the sport and showcase their recent success in football.
CS Namwamba said both Police FC and Kenya Police Bullets were run well under an “impressive team management framework” and attributed the recent successes of Police FC and Police Bullets to good management of the sport and dedication of the players.
The Police FC won this year’s Domestic Cup while the Bullets clinched the Kenya Women’s Premier League (KWPL) title on what was their top-flight debut.
“You have an impressive team management framework. I see in you order, discipline, efficiency, accountability and transparency,” Ababu said.
