KCB FC: Kenyan Football Club Fixtures, Results, Squad and History

KCB, in football, means KCB FC, the football club of the Kenya Commercial Bank Sports Club, founded in Nairobi in 1993 and playing its home games at Nairobi City Stadium. The soccer club was founded in 1993 and plays its home matches at Nairobi City Stadium, which holds 15,000. The fixtures, results, table and squad modules help readers follow KCB across Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda.

The live table (or log, as South African readers would say), the results and the upcoming matches all sit in the data modules above and refresh after every game. For the full list of dates, grounds and start times, the Kcb fixtures page has every match in order, so you can plan your weekend around the games that matter.

Who Are KCB FC, the Sidwedwe?

KCB FC is the football section of the Kenya Commercial Bank Sports Club, a Nairobi sports club that also runs rugby and other sports, and its nickname is Sidwedwe. Home matches are played at Nairobi City Stadium, which holds 15,000.

Where Do You Find KCB's Latest Results and League Position?

The latest KCB results, the current league position and the next matches are all in the data modules at the top, and they update themselves after every final whistle. That is the honest way to follow a club, because a sentence about form goes stale the moment a Sunday afternoon game in Nairobi finishes. So, read the results strip with the most recent game first, and check whether each match was at City Stadium or away, since long trips across Kenya, from Kakamega to Mombasa, change how any side approaches a game. The table module then shows where KCB stand against the rest of the division this season.

How Do You Follow KCB Fixtures, Results and the Table From Africa?

KCB returned to the top flight in 2018. Read each kick-off time in WAT, EAT, SAST and GMT together. Use KCB's results module to check completed matches, then consult the table key for the meaning of its columns and symbols.

How Is the KCB Squad Set Out?

In September 2025 KCB announced Robert Matano as head coach, joining from Fountain Gate FC, with Nahashon Alembi named as captain, and the squad module always shows who holds those roles now. The September 2025 announcement named Fountain Gate FC as Matano’s previous club.

What Have KCB Won?

KCB's major football honour is the President's Cup, won in 2004, and they came close to adding a second cup in 2024 when they reached the FKF Cup final. The 2024 run included a semi final against Kariobangi Sharks that finished one goal each before KCB went through on penalties. In the 2024 final, Kenya Police beat KCB 8 to 7 in a shootout after a goalless game, and the winners took a CAF Confederation Cup place and Ksh2 million.

From the 1993 Foundation to the 2024 Cup Final

KCB FC was founded in 1993 as part of the bank's sports club, and the early years were spent climbing through Nairobi's lower leagues. In 1996 the club won the Nairobi Provincial League, which earned promotion to the Nationwide League, and two years later, in 1998, KCB reached the Kenyan Premier League. The first major prize followed in 2004 with the President's Cup, a result that gave a young corporate club its place in the record books. For a side that had only existed for eleven years, it was a quick rise.

The club finished 15th in 2015 and was relegated, then rebuilt and returned to the top flight in 2018, when a 2 to 0 win over Talanta made a promotion place certain. The appointment of Robert Matano in September 2025 opened a new chapter. The timeline below sets out each step with its year.

Where Do KCB Sit in Kenya's Football Landscape?

Kenyan supporter culture is led by Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards, and KCB sit beside them as a corporate club with a smaller, loyal following drawn from the bank's staff and from Nairobi football regulars. The meeting between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards fills grounds and radio phone lines, while KCB matches are calmer affairs where the football itself is the attraction. That being said, a win over either of the big two always counts for more in the table conversations around Nairobi, and those fixtures are the ones that put KCB on the evening sports bulletins.

The clubs KCB are most often compared with are the other institutional sides, Tusker, Kenya Police and Kariobangi Sharks, because they share a model built on a backer rather than a mass membership. Kenya Police are the closest rival in recent memory, thanks to the 2024 FKF Cup final that went to an 8 to 7 shootout, and any meeting between the two Nairobi clubs now carries the feel of a Nairobi derby. Kariobangi Sharks, beaten on penalties in the 2024 semi final, are another side that KCB fans circle on the calendar.

A match day at Nairobi City Stadium is a local occasion, with a ground of 15,000 that suits a club of KCB's size and keeps supporters close to the pitch. Most Kenyan fans follow these games in a mobile first way, with radio commentary, live score apps and short social video clips carrying the goals within minutes. If you cannot reach the ground, the results module above fills in as soon as the referee blows for full time, which is often quicker than waiting for the evening news.

KCB Rugby and the Other Sections: Which KCB Is Which?

The KCB rugby club is a separate section of the same sports club, formed in 1989 after Kenya Breweries RFC disbanded when its main sponsor pulled out, four years before the football club was founded in 1993. So, when a Kenyan headline mentions KCB winning on a Saturday, it may be the rugby fifteen rather than the football side, and the sport in the headline is the only reliable clue. The two sections share a name, a backer and a home city, but they play in different competitions and keep their own squads and coaches. KCB FC identifies the football section. KCB returned to the top flight in 2018.

Which KCB Games Matter Most, and What Time Do They Kick Off?

The KCB games that matter most are the meetings with Kenya Police, Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards and Tusker. Check the competition label alongside each fixture to distinguish league meetings from cup ties before comparing their results. A 3pm EAT kick-off in Nairobi is 3pm in Kampala, 2pm SAST in Johannesburg, 1pm WAT in Lagos and 12 noon GMT in Accra, so readers in West Africa get the earliest slot of the day. Ugandan fans who cross over for East African football can follow without changing their clocks at all. Broadcast options differ from country to country, and the listings in the data module show where each match is available.

Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda were awarded the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations on 27 September 2023, the first AFCON shared by three hosts, and that puts Kenyan league football under a brighter light. For readers in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa, KCB are a useful window on the Kenyan club game ahead of that tournament, since players who perform in the FKF Premier League are the ones the Harambee Stars draw on. My practical advice is simple: open the fixtures list, convert the first three start times into your own zone, and set your reminders before the week fills up.
