    Focusing on not locking any talent out is essential. Returning to the grassroots for scouting will open up more potential. It will also expose more talents.

    Talents are in the grassroots; and scouting for Under 17 is inevitable.

    The scouts were expected to scout for the best talents from the youths who came in numbers.

    Kakamega has talents when you look at the youths albeit young with prowess in football. Those are the ones being targeted. It is a hurdle to wait for the grassroot talents to be exposed. Scouts must go out to where the talents are, or the talents won’t come out for us.

    The scouting team

    13 youths were selected from the one-day trials and will participate in the National trials in Nairobi. Those who will not be picked to travel to Uganda will be in the federation database.

    The FKF Kakamega Chairman and Youth Rep County Government plan to build more sports grounds. This aims to nurture talents and provide a platform for the youths to showcase their talents. If we will have many sports facilities, the youth will be active in sports. This activity will reduce cases of drug abuse and other vices. They will be tired and by the time they reach home, they refresh and sleep. You find the youths have talents but lack sports facilities to train,” said the FKF Kakamega Chairman Mr. Jeff Mudembei.

    The selected 13 talents

    As schools have closed for the long holidays, the FKF Kakamega Youth Rep urged youths to take part in sports. They should not engage in indecorous behavior. They should not indulge in drug and substance abuse.

  • Beyond the Obstacles

    Beyond the Obstacles

    On the State of Kakamega FKF as the new office takes charge, several current issues have to be looked into. First, there is a progressive competitive imbalance. Second, there is an absence of a mandatory rest period for players. Third, the excessive number of travels and matches endanger player health and well-being. Lastly, the constant interruption of domestic leagues disrupts club competitions.

    The frequency of men’s, women’s, and youth team competitions will also deserve attention. It is important to examine the feasibility of a men’s and women’s performance in their respective leagues.

    Throughout the analysis and discussions, sporting elements will be the first and foremost priorities.

    The long-term goal is to have more players from Kakamega county in the national teams. We also aim to have more Kakamega clubs competing at the highest level of both the men’s and women’s game. This aligns with our Vision (2024-2028).

    Discrimination affects millions of people every day. It stifles opportunities and harms physical and mental health. It also wastes human talent and accentuates social tensions and inequalities. FKF Kakamega will live up to the FIFA guidelines. FIFA has teamed up with UN Human Rights to champion the fight against discrimination.

  • Collaboration Magic

    Collaboration Magic

    Kakamega FKF is committed to using football’s power as a force for good. We leverage our partnerships with other agencies and partners to achieve this goal.

    Indigenous peoples continue to be left behind. They suffer disproportionately from climate change, poverty, and poor access to education and healthcare. They are often excluded from planning and participation in their social, political and cultural lives.

    Football is a unifying force that can advocate for the rights of indigenous communities everywhere and recognize their cultural contribution.
