Kenya Police Bullets FC head coach Beldine Odemba says they will hit camp for early preparations ahead of the Cecafa Women Club Championship to be held in August in Ethiopia.

Speaking on Citizen TV’s Sporty Monday show, Odemba said the girls will have to sacrifice their rest period in order to get ready for the tournament.

Bullets were crowned the FKF Women’s Premier League champions on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, sealing off the league in style with a 3-0 drubbing of Bunyore Starlets.

“We have to begin early preparations in order to be ready for the tournament that will be very key, and it will take sacrifice from everyone. I know they will not have enough time to rest but we have no option,” said Odemba.

The head coach also said they are planning to bolster their squad in all departments to increase firepower, as they eye a CAF Women’s Champions League slot.

“We know we have a good team but we have many competitions to take part in, and we have already identified the players that we will need to strengthen the team in all departments,” she noted.

Police Bullets won their first premier league title this season on their debut, after acquiring three-time women’s premier league winners, Thika Queens last year.

Odemba attributed the recent league victory to hard work and teamwork from every stakeholder.

“It is all about team work and hard work that won us the title. Every stakeholder played their part in this success and we hope more will come in future,” averred the head coach, who is also in charge of the national women’s U20 team, Rising Starlets.
