The Kakamega Secretary General attended a friendly match between Mumias East Legends FC and Super FC from Bumini, which was energetically led by Erick Osore.
Erick Osore, known for his dedication to nurturing young talent, is an instructor at Boyani Technical Institution in Vihiga, where he imparts critical skills and knowledge to aspiring footballers. Super FC is currently gearing up and will soon be vying for a chance to compete in the highly anticipated Kakamega County League, a tournament that showcases some of the best local teams and offers them a platform to shine and gain recognition in the region.
The SG noted that grassroots soccer will always have a special place in his heart – it’s where the players are born and made, where dreams are nurtured, and has shaped so many talented players who have gone on to inspire future generations. The energy, passion, and dedication exhibited by young footballers during these formative years are truly remarkable. It was amazing to witness this friendly match, filled with skillful plays and the unyielding spirit of competition, reminding everyone present of the beautiful game’s ability to unite communities and create lasting bonds among players and spectators alike.
Grassroots football is the backbone of our game, and we need more stadiums and more teams like this across the country to nurture and develop young talent. By investing in local clubs and facilities, we can create a supportive environment where aspiring players can receive proper coaching, gain invaluable experience, and showcase their abilities. Such initiatives not only foster a sense of community but also ensure that talented individuals from diverse backgrounds have the opportunity to shine on larger platforms. Additionally, as these teams thrive, they will propel local pride and bring communities together, reinforcing the importance of football at every level.
