The club originates from the men’s fellowship of M.A.O.S Ministries football team founded in 2002, which took part in inter-church competitions. In 2004 Elly Mboni Kalekwa took over the team and formed Sofapaka FC and the team eventually joined the Nationwide league .

The next season they promoted to the premier league . They won the premier league in 2009, the year they debuted in the league . The club won the 2009 Kenyan Super Cup beating AFC Leopards 1 � 0

The team was managed by Robert Matano when the team promoted to the KPL in 2008 and won the league the next season. He was, however, dismissed in March 2010 after a below expectations start of the new league season, and early exit from Champions League. He was replaced by Sam Ssimbwa of Uganda .
