KK Palace is an association football team in Ondangwa, Namibia.
They are internationally known for taking part in one of the longest Penalty Shootouts, where they beat F.C. Civics Windhoek on January 23, 2004, after 48 kicks and a 17–16 victory in the first round of the NFA Cup after a 2–2 draw after 90 minutes (there was no extra-time played in that tournament). At that time, Civics were the leader of the Namibian first division, while KK Palace played in second division. A common rumour is that this was the final match of the tournament, but this is verifiably untrue: In fact, KK Palace was knocked out in the second round after losing 0–3 to Black Africa S.C. The tournament was eventually won by Ramblers F.C., who defeated KK Palace-defeaters Black Africa in the final.
The club were champions of the First Division North West for the 2022-2023 season, qualifying for the Namibia Premiership for the first time since 2011.
