There is renewed optimism for football development in Kakamega County after H.E. FCPA Fernandes Barasa, OGW pledged to give audience to the FKF Kakamega branch on how to support and partner with FKF Kakamega teams after the Malava Parliamentary by-elections to be held on 27th November 2025.
Speaking to the FKF Kakamega delegation, Governor Barasa reaffirmed his commitment to collaborating on key initiatives aimed at strengthening football structures, talent pathways, and resource mobilisation across the county.
During the meeting, the governor received an FKF-branded jersey presented by FKF Kakamega officials led by Chairman Jeff Mudembei and Secretary General Rajab Wangalwa. He appreciated the gesture and assured the officials of his readiness to engage in programmes that uplift both grassroots and elite football.
FKF Kakamega leadership expressed optimism, noting that the governor’s goodwill comes at a crucial time as preparations for the 2025/26 season intensify. Player registration and renewal for the upcoming County League season is currently underway, with clubs encouraged to complete their processes early to ensure a smooth kickoff.
In addition, a coaching refresher course is scheduled for December, aimed at equipping county coaches with updated technical skills and modern methodologies to raise the competitiveness of local teams.
With such collaborative efforts on the horizon, FKF Kakamega believes a strong partnership with the County Government will unlock greater opportunities and reinforce Kakamega’s status as one of Kenya’s leading football hubs.
