Kenya Police FC Chairman Gideon Munga Nyale has brushed off any concerns about Zamalek’s strength, confidently declaring that his side will overturn the narrow 1-0 first-leg defeat in the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round.
Speaking to the media after the loss in Nairobi, Nyale expressed belief that his team will not only defeat the Egyptian giants in the second leg but also go on to win the coveted continental trophy.
“When we beat this team on Friday in Cairo, we will be the champions of the Confederation Cup in Africa. No team will match us,” Nyale boldly stated.
The experienced gaffer has expressed frustration over missed chances as Kenya Police FC face a tough second leg in Egypt.
The Antony Kimani-coached Police FC put up a strong fight against Zamalek in the first leg at Nyayo National Stadium but fell short, losing to a solitary goal.
However, Nyale, who was present alongside Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli, downplayed the result, asserting that the Egyptians were fortunate to leave Nairobi with the win.
“This was just a game of football. They were lucky to win against us, but come the second leg on Friday, we will secure a victory,” he added, clearly unbothered by the deficit.
Nyale also heaped praise on his team’s second-half performance, particularly crediting the impact of late substitutions that improved their play. He hinted that those who excelled towards the end of the game would feature prominently in the return leg in Cairo.

“The match was generally good. We started slowly but eventually picked up, especially after the second-half substitutions. The way we played in the second half—that’s the team that will start in Cairo. We will give them a run for their money,” the Police FC chairman remarked.
Despite the missed opportunities that cost them a potential victory at home, Nyale remained optimistic about the team’s overall performance, suggesting that luck had simply not been on their side.
“I am proud of the boys and how they played. I have told them that I’m happy. We could have scored at least two goals but were unlucky,” Nyale reflected.
Kenya Police FC now face the daunting task of overturning their 1-0 deficit when they take on the defending CAF Confederation Cup champions, Zamalek, at Cairo International Stadium on Friday, 20th September. Kickoff is set for 20:00 hours, and Nyale has assured fans that his team will rise to the challenge, unfazed by the opposition’s reputation.
With Nyale’s unwavering belief in his squad, Police FC will be looking to make history by pulling off a stunning upset and progressing to the next round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
