Shabana FC is readying for their second season in the FKF Premier League, determined to improve last campaign's performance.

The team earned a promotion from the second tier and battled fiercely, fighting until the very last day to secure their spot in the top flight.

Their return to the league was marked by a challenging first half of the season, which was further complicated by the delayed replacement of coach Sam Okoth following his departure in November.

Their final-day victory over Murang'a Seal was a huge relief, securing their place in Kenya's top tier for another season.

Shabana finished 14th last season, thanks to a late resurgence in the final games that saw them leapfrog teams like Sofapaka and FC Talanta, ending with a total of 38 points.
