Kipkunur Football Club[3] is an associated football club based in Kapsowar and currently playing County Leagues in Elgeyo-Marakwet. The team was founded in May 2023 and plays its home games at Moi Kapsowar Girls Stadium at Kapsowar CBD.
The team borrows its symbolic name from the vantage of Kipkunur Mountain[4] located at the western horizon among the Cherangany ranges.
The hill, starkly erect, stands tall exuding power, dominance, and valor. It is a key symbol bestowing some of the key supreme fundamentals that Kipkunur FC players borrow from the westerly majestic knoll.
Apparently, due to the incorporation of qualities associated with Kipkunur Mountain into their team identity and culture by its management, the club has stood the test of time in the football vicinity.
These outstanding qualities have helped them create a strong sense of purpose, resilience[5], and unity which has contributed to much of their success since its inception in May 2023.
Colors[edit]
When it was all said and done, Kipkunur FC adopted Turquoise Green[6] and Light Muted Orange as their home and away colors respectively.
