On July 16, 2019, Nation Media Group Football Club (Nation FC) embarked on a tour of Mombasa, with Coast Bus (Mombasa) Limited serving as their travel partners for the trip.
Coast Bus's CEO, Ajazz Mohammed Mirza, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that as a sports enthusiast, he was happy to collaborate with Nation FC to give their employees a chance to showcase their talent and take a break from their busy schedules.
"They say that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and it's in this context that I have decided to partner with NMG to give their staff an opportunity to play as they strive to remain the top media house in the East Africa region," Mirza said.
During their tour, Nation FC played a friendly match against Coast Media Football Club at Serani grounds on Friday, July 19, 2019, at 10:00 am, followed by a match against Bandari at Mbaraki on Saturday, July 20, 2019, at 4:00 pm.
