Owned by the Kenya Commercial Bank, the club's football team played for several years in the Kenyan Premier League, but were relegated at the end of the 2015 season after finishing in 15th place. They were promoted again in 2018 after their 2–0 victory against Talanta made it impossible to finish outside of the promotion places.
