Kipoyi Shines Bright for Al Nassr Ladies
Ruth Kipoyi stole the spotlight at the Al Nassr Ladies’ offensive showcase against Alula this past Saturday, January 11, 2025. With a goal in the 70th minute, she kickstarted the team’s second-half championship run, marking her eighth goal in the SAFF Women’s Cup – Saudi Women’s first League within just four months since leaving Galatasaray Pétrole Ofisi Kadin Futbol Takimi in August.
A Star on the Rise
Formerly a key player for FC TP Mazembe, Kipoyi’s performance has been nothing short of spectacular. Her recent goal-scoring spree includes six goals in her last five matches, totaling 7 goals in 10 games played.

The Battle of the Titans
As Kipoyi gears up for the upcoming Women’s AFCON in Morocco with the Leopards dames, her performance on the field has been nothing short of exceptional. She finds herself in a neck-and-neck race with her national team compatriot, Naomie Kabakaba, who plays for Al-Alhli Ladies and currently ranks among the top three goal scorers in the league with 14 goals. Their friendly rivalry adds an extra layer of excitement to the league, as fans eagerly anticipate each player’s next move on the pitch.
