Heads Held High: Chema VC Concludes a Remarkable Debut Season as League Runners-Up

It was not the ending the club had worked for, but it does not erase what this team achieved over the course of the season.

In its first campaign among Kenya's top Division One sides, Chema VC showed character, quality, and staying power, growing from ambitious newcomers into genuine title contenders.

Chema did not arrive in Division One just to participate. The club competed with belief from the opening leg, held its ground against established sides, and finished the regular season strongly enough to earn a playoff run that carried all the way to the final.

That journey matters. Reaching the league final in a debut top-flight season is not a small achievement. It speaks to the discipline of the squad, the work of the technical bench, and the support structure that has helped the club grow with purpose.

The players gave everything. The coaches kept pushing. Management stood behind the team. And the supporters continued to believe at every stage of the journey.

To every fan who travelled, cheered, posted, wore the colours, and stood with Chema through the highs and the disappointment of the final, the club says thank you. Your voice has been part of this season's identity.

This campaign ends with Chema VC as league runners-up, but it also leaves behind a clear message: this club belongs in serious conversations about the future of Kenyan volleyball.

There is pride in what has been built, and there is even more motivation in what still lies ahead.

There is no long pause now.

Focus shifts immediately to the Kenya Cup, where Chema will meet KAPU in the quarterfinals on Friday, July 24, 2026 at 12:00 PM.

The pain of the final must now become fuel for the next challenge.

We will recover.

We will grow.

We will come back stronger.

Now we turn the page and fight on in the Kenya Cup.

Chema Chajiuza.
