Under the guidance of coach Livingstone Wanga, the team has been making strides in the FKF Division, with a impressive record of 21 matches played and 36 points scored.
The team's success can be attributed to their rigorous training sessions, discipline, and a strong sense of camaraderie among the players. The players have also been encouraged to break down social barriers, promote unity, and overcome personal challenges through football.
Asaba, the team's manager, believes that football has the power to transform lives and provide a platform for young people to express themselves and overcome challenges. He says, 'We have been driven to build a team that can change the lives of young people and provide them with a platform to showcase their talents.'
Despite facing challenges such as limited funding and transportation costs, the team remains committed to their goals and is determined to make a name for themselves in the Kenyan football scene.
