Speaking ahead of the event, Deborah Maina, SportPesa’s Public Relations and Advertising Executive, highlighted the tournament’s purpose. “The Nyanza leg represents the heart of what Tujiamini Cheza Dimba stands for: using sport to inspire, unite, and empower communities. We are not only developing talent but also investing in the dreams and livelihoods of Kenya’s youth.”
For the participating teams, the stakes are deeply personal. Mogire Kepher, Coach of Shabana Youth FC, expressed his team’s ambition. “We have been struggling financially as a young team, so this tournament means everything. We are looking to win because victory would ease our financial challenges and allow us to focus more on training and building our players. We dream of one day playing against our mother team, Shabana FC.”
The Nyanza tournament follows a highly successful Nairobi edition held two weeks ago. Mseto FC from Dagoretti and Achievers FC from Ongata Rongai were crowned champions. Mseto FC secured the men’s title with a 1–0 win over Victor’s Faith Church, while Achievers FC won the women’s crown on penalties after a dramatic 2–2 draw against UEFA Despanol Queens.
With stops already made in Central, Western, North Rift, North Eastern, Eastern, Coast, and Nairobi, the Cheza Dimba series continues to expand its footprint.
