Kenya Commercial Bank Sports Club, commonly known as KCB, and nicknamed Sidwedwe, is a Kenyan multi-sport club based in Nairobi currently playing in the Kenyan Premier League.
History
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.
Kenya Commercial Bank also has rugby, volleyball and basketball teams, all of which play in their respective men's top-flight leagues of Kenya. In addition, their volleyball section has a women's team, which is among the most successful ones in Kenya. KCB has its own facilities in Ruaraka, Nairobi, which the rugby team uses as their home ground.
Aside from other sports, KCB also runs a chess club.
KCB is een van de meest succesvolle clubs in de Keniaanse voetbalgeschiedenis, met 14 gewonnen landstitels en 10 nationale bekers. De club heeft ook internationaal succes geboekt, door in 1994 de CECAFA Club Cup te winnen en in 2002 de CAF Confederation Cup te bereiken.
KCB staat bekend om zijn sterke jeugdopleiding, die vele getalenteerde spelers heeft voortgebracht die later voor het Keniaanse nationale team zijn uitgekomen. De club speelt zijn thuiswedstrijden in het Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.
