The team is currently camping at Ligi Ndogo Grounds and will depart Nairobi on Sunday evening, 8th December, for Huesca, Spain, where they will participate in a week-long football training camp.

The All-Star team consists of 32 players – 16 boys and 16 girls, scouted from across the country during the eight regional finals held in Western, Nyanza, Rift Valley, Eastern, Coast, Central, North-Eastern, and Nairobi.

Speaking at the unveiling ceremony, Dr. Peter Ndegwa, Safaricom CEO said, “The company’s commitment to empowering youth by providing 32 boys and girls with an opportunity to showcase their talents and learn from global football professionals, I wish them success on their journey”.

During their stay in Spain, the team will engage in a series of enriching activities designed to enhance their football journey.

They will play against Huesca’s Youth Academy, attend masterclasses led by former professional players, and utilise the state-of-the-art facilities at the Base Aragonesa de Fútbol, the modern sports city of S.D. Huesca.

Additionally, they will also be exposed to a different climate, helping them with exposure needed for international football.

Khamis Nyale, a Safaricom Chapa Dimba All-Stars player, expressed his excitement about traveling to Spain, calling it a dream come true.

“Visiting Spain to experience world-class football firsthand or even play there has always been my dream, and now, thanks to Safaricom Chapa Dimba, that dream is coming true. I am immensely grateful to Safaricom and the entire team for keeping their promise to us,” he said.

Nyale added that he is determined to make the most of the opportunity, learn from the boot camp, and use the lessons to advance his football career.

Two coaches, Chrispine Odindo of Plateau Queens and Evans Oketch of Obunga FC, and FKF representatives, are accompanying the players to Spain.
