Two teams Society Empowerment Project (SEP) Oyugis and Nakuru Queens will be making their debut in the Kenya Women’s Premier League (KWPL) that starts off this weekend.
The new comers SEP Oyugis will play host to Eldoret Falcons at the Nyahera Primary School in Kisumu on Sunday as Nakuru Queens welcome Oserian at the Afraha Stadium Nakuru also on Sunday in two of four matches set for this opening weekend.
The two teams earned promotion to the top tier contest alongside Ulinzi Starlets. SEP Oyugis beat Zone A runners up MTG United 4-0, while Nakuru Queens lost 2-1 to Ulinzi Starlets in the finals of last year’s Division One playoffs.
SEP Oyugis and Nakuru Queens are pooled in Zone B, while Ulinzi Starlets are in Zone A of the 16-team league. Ulinzi Starlet’s match against Gaspo was postponed with two players from Gaspo being away with Harambee Starlets in Turkey for international duty.
