With the title now secured, we move to the next phase – mobilizing funding and beginning construction. Once complete, the centre will not only boost football development across the country but also make Machakos the future home of FKF.

This marks a major step towards making our country a hub for football development, where talent will be nurtured, and the standards of the game elevated. The centre will serve players, coaches, referees, and the wider football community, creating opportunities for our youth to grow their skills, compete at higher levels, and represent our county pride on the national and international stages,” she explained.
