October 20, 2025 | Kakamega, Kenya
As the nation commemorates Mashujaa Day 2025, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Kakamega Branch joins Kenyans in celebrating the gallant men and women whose sacrifice, courage, and dedication have shaped our country’s history and inspired generations.
In a joint message, the Branch leadership emphasized the importance of recognizing everyday heroes within our football community who continue to build the game from the grassroots level, inspiring young athletes and fostering a sense of teamwork and camaraderie among players of all ages. These unsung champions dedicate countless hours, often volunteering their time and resources to ensure that opportunities for participation and skill development are accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. By acknowledging their invaluable contributions, we not only celebrate their passion and commitment but also encourage others to join this vital mission, further enriching our vibrant football culture that thrives on inclusivity and shared love for the sport.
Branch Chairman, Mr. Jeff Mudembei, stated:
“Mashujaa Day reminds us that heroism is not confined to the battlefields. It lives in our communities, our pitches, and our youth programs. Every coach, player, referee, and supporter who uplifts the game is a shujaa. Together, we carry forward the spirit of service and unity that defines Kenyan football.”
Vice Chairman, Mr. Ramadhan Balala, added:
“This day celebrates resilience — the same resilience that drives our young players to dream, persevere, and succeed. Mashujaa Day challenges us to emulate our heroes through hard work and determination.”
Branch Secretary, Mr. Rajab Wangalwa, remarked:
“Our national heroes paved the way for freedom; our role is to create opportunity and hope through football. Every young player who steps onto the field represents the next generation of heroes.”
Treasurer, Mr. Fred Lugalia, noted:
“True heroism lies in service and accountability. As a branch, we remain committed to transparency and the sustainable growth of football in Kakamega and beyond.”
Women Representative, Ms. Emily Khasiro, said:
“We take pride in the women who continue to make history in football and in leadership. Their contribution mirrors the courage of Kenya’s heroines who fought for equality and recognition.”
Youth Representative, Mr. Joseph Kubati, observed:
“The youth remain the lifeblood of football. On this Mashujaa Day, we salute their energy, creativity, and determination to excel both on and off the pitch.”
Branch Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Simon Karanga, concluded:
“As we honor our national heroes, we also recognize the unsung heroes within our football fraternity — local coaches, referees, and community supporters — who tirelessly work to uplift the sport. They are the foundation upon which our football future stands.”
