David ‘Cheche’ Ochieng is elated to have Kenya Police FC join the elite clubs on the continent for the 2025/26 CAF Champions League preliminary round.

He has since shifted focus to the Champions League and also defending the Premier League title, pointing out that the team is capable of making that happen.

David Ochieng revealed that all eyes will be on them to impress and noted that they have already started preparation towards that.

“For the next season, I want to urge players to take an extra step in the CAF Champions League. I know it’s hard, and there are good teams out there, but if you were a relegated team and go and win a few matches, then you’re good to go,” Ochieng said in a video shared by Pepeta on X (Twitter).

“We are the defending league champions, and next season, we are expected to take it. We are capable of it, we have young players and experienced ones, and hopefully we shall be able to retain it.”

David Ochieng added that winning the league is a great step towards the right direction and is proof that their signings paid off well.

Ochieng revealed that the management gave their all when it came to raising the players’ salaries and providing a conducive environment for the players, and winning the league was a great appreciation for them.

“It’s very important for us to win the league. The management has invested a lot in this team and through salaries and sign-on fees, and through quality players,” Ochieng added.

“I think the best way to reward them is maybe for them to win a cup. Last season we won the Mozzart Cup, but I think that was not enough because I think the squad we had was capable of winning the league.”

David ‘Cheche’ Ochieng’s strong words and unwavering confidence signal Kenya Police FC’s growing ambition on both domestic and continental fronts.

With their recent Premier League triumph, David Ochieng believes they are well-positioned to defend their title and make a serious impact in the CAF Champions League.
