A win for Muranga, combined with a Shabana FC loss, would see the title slip from Shabana’s grasp and firmly into Muranga’s hands.
In the event that Shabana FC and Muranga Seal both end their matches in a draw, Shabana FC would still be crowned champions due to their superior goal difference.
This scenario puts Shabana FC in a more comfortable position, but it is essential for them to remain focused and not underestimate their opponents.
It is worth noting that both Shabana FC and Muranga Seal have already secured promotion to the FKF-Premier League 2023/2024 Season, regardless of the outcome of their final match.
However, the hunger for the NSL title still burns bright within both teams, and they will leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of glory.

As the NSL 2022/23 season comes to an end, football fans across the nation are eagerly anticipating the thrilling finale.
The fate of the title rests on a knife’s edge, and the outcome of the final matches will determine whether Shabana FC or Muranga Seal will emerge victorious.
