United Democratic Alliance (UDA) top brass rolled out the red carpet at Party Headquarters to honor Embu County’s trailblazing football outfit, 3K FC, following their historic promotion and competitive debut in Kenya’s top-flight division.
Hosted by UDA Secretary General Senator Hassan Omar Hassan alongside Embu Governor and UDA National Chairperson Cecily Mbarire—with Director of Membership Grace Gicovi and club officials in attendance—the high-profile reception lauded the club’s remarkable ascent from lower-tier obscurity to the pinnacle of domestic football.
The bedrock of this fairy-tale rise was laid in 2024, when 3K FC clinched the Division One Zone A championship following a dominant 3-1 triumph over Kibra United at Embu’s Moi Stadium, sparking an unstoppable surge through the National Super League and into the 2026/27 Premier League and Mozzart Bet Cup campaigns.

Speaking during the celebratory engagement, Governor Mbarire and Senator Omar hailed the squad as true ambassadors of Embu, noting that their disciplined rise—which has already seen them lock horns with traditional giants like AFC Leopards—proves that structured grassroots investment yields extraordinary results.
Political and sports observers note that hosting the high-flying club at UDA headquarters underscores the ruling party’s deliberate strategy to align itself with youth empowerment, grassroots talent development, and regional pride ahead of the 2027 political cycle.
As 3K FC continues its spirited 2026/27 top-flight and domestic cup campaign, this high-decibel endorsement from the country’s political leadership guarantees that Embu’s football revolution will remain locked in a high-voltage national spotlight.
