Gor Mahia Queens are on the brink of making history as they prepare for a showdown that could alter the landscape of Kenyan women’s football on Sunday June 7.
The team is set to face a battle-tested Elim White Ladies side, formerly known as Trans Nzoia Falcon Ladies, in a highly anticipated Kenya Women Premier League promotion playoff match in Nakuru, setting the stage for what promises to be a grueling and emotional encounter for both squads.
For the Queens, this single fixture represents the ultimate culmination of a relentless campaign in Zone A of the Women’s National Super League, where they finished second on the log with an impressive forty-two points.

Gor Mahia Queens on the verge of history
Their opponents, Elim White Ladies, mirror this formidable record exactly, having locked down their own playoff spot after anchoring the Zone B table with an identical haul of forty-two points, ensuring that this winner-takes-all clash features two beautifully matched sides.
Securing victory would grant Gor Mahia an elusive ticket to the top tier of the domestic women’s game, allowing them to join the elite ranks of teams like Police Bullets and Ulinzi Starlets.
Achieving top-flight status would also allow the women’s side to match the championship pedigree established by their male counterparts, who recently won the Sportpesa League.
Later at the same venue on a packed and historic weekend for the second tier, the grand finale of the division will take center stage to crown the absolute rulers of the campaign.
Zone A champions Mathare United Women are scheduled to battle it out with Zone B winners Shabana FC to determine the overall Women’s National Super League champion.
This grand finale is slated to kick off at exactly 3 PM serving as a mouthwatering continuation of the day’s action as both legendary clubs celebrate their direct, automatic promotion to next season’s top tier.
