Now that the European football seasons are over,it has come as a blessing in disguise for the Kenyan league. They started a floodlight-midweek game that is catching on as the new weekday chill out spot at Nyayo stadium. Numbers have risen considerably and I bet by the end of the year local football will be able to get extra streams of income from increased gate collections,sale of jerseys...all that and a bag of chips.
The fact that Kenya now has two citizens in the UCL has also helped to take the sport to the next level,if only the bungling officials can get their act right,more players will have a chance at the big leagues.
At an even deeper local level,Mwimuto Wailers FC from Kabete/Kikuyu constituency is making strides in engaging the youth in sports and helping in community projects. Under the sponsorship of local residents,they have been able to attain an unofficial academy status because they have engaged all age-groups and been able to register them in all relevant competitions eg Safaricom Sakata Ball and Copa Coca Cola.
