“I am really happy with my boys; they played exceptionally well and pushed hard despite the game being very tough. Last year, we were knocked out in the first round, but this time we came prepared with new attacking tactics that earned us victory. We plan to use the prize money to support our team. Finally, I want to thank SportPesa and the Tujiamini initiative for helping players at the grassroots level realize their dreams, ”said Michael Branabe Head Coach, Mseto FC.
The men’s champions, Mseto FC, walked away with KES 250,000 annually and kits to be renewed for the next 3 years, while Achievers FC received KES 50,000 one-off prize, as winners in the women’s category. In addition, both teams will benefit from three years of mentorship through the Tujiamini platform by SportPesa, which aims to nurture and empower grassroots talent.
The Nairobi leg of SportPesa Cheza Dimba attracted several grassroots teams from across the county, offering a platform for young people to showcase their talent, believe in themselves, and make a positive impact within their communities.
“We enjoyed the game, though it wasn’t easy as the opponents were also very strong. We started with the group stages which were also a bit tough as everyone came here to win. Compared to other games in the group stages I think this was one of the toughest but again we managed to contain the game, pushed them into their half and secured the win in the first half.” Said Delvin Kubari player Mseto FC.
