St Joseph’s Boys Kitale have been crowned the 2025 National KSSA football champions after edging out Musingu High School of Kakamega with a narrow 1-0 win.

Popularly known as Jobo, the Saints sealed victory in the second half through a well-taken free kick—crushing Musingu’s hopes of lifting the coveted trophy for a second consecutive year.

In the girls' category, Butere Girls secured their third consecutive national title. The Western giants scored early in the first half, thanks to a decisive strike from star forward Metrine Kitavi.

However, the final moments of the Butere–Madira clash turned chaotic when a police officer carelessly lobbed teargas into the crowd, disrupting play and affecting both fans and players.

Several spectators and one Madira player collapsed due to the fumes, but emergency responders from the St John's Ambulance quickly stepped in to offer life-saving aid.
