The team is currently camping at Ligi Ndogo Grounds and will depart Nairobi on Sunday evening, for Huesca, Spain, where they will participate in a week-long football training camp.
The team consists of 32 of the best players: 16 boys and 16 girls scouted from across the country during the eight regional finals.
The players were scouted from Western, Nyanza, Rift Valley, Eastern, Coast, Central, North-Eastern, and Nairobi.
Speaking at the team unveiling ceremony, Dr. Peter Ndegwa, Safaricom CEO, said, “At Safaricom, we believe in creating opportunities that empower young people to showcase their talents on global stages.”
“Through this trip, we aim to provide these 32 young boys and girls with a unique and unforgettable experience, offering them the chance to engage with and learn from world-class football professionals”
During their stay in Spain, the team will engage in a series of enriching activities designed to enhance their football journey.
They will play against Huesca’s Youth Academy, attend master classes led by former professional players, and utilise the state-of-the-art facilities at the Base Aragonesa de Fútbol, the modern sports city of S.D. Huesca.
They will also be exposed to a different climate, helping them with exposure needed for international football.
“It is truly exciting to be part of the squad travelling to Spain. Visiting Spain to experience world-class football firsthand or even play there has always been my dream, and now, thanks to Safaricom Chapa Dimba, that dream is coming true,” said Khamis Nyale, a player.
“I am immensely grateful to Safaricom and the entire team for keeping their promise to us. I am determined to make the most of this opportunity, learn as much as I can during the boot camp, and apply those lessons to grow my football career.”
Two coaches, Chrispine Odindo of Plateau Queens and Evans Oketch of Obunga FC, and FKF representatives, are accompanying the players to Spain.
