KK Palace is an association football team in Ondangwa, Namibia.[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesn/nami05.html 2004/05 Results for football clubs in 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.{{cite web |last1=Schutz |first1=Helge |title=NCS, KK Palace promoted, BA survive after dubious victory |url=https://www.namibian.com.na/ncs-kk-palace-promoted-ba-survive-after-dubious-victory/ |publisher=The Namibian |access-date=3 July 2024}}
