The 2023-2024 FKF Premier League season is finally here with us.
As fans across the nation eagerly anticipate the unfolding drama, this season stands poised to captivate hearts and minds like never before.
From fresh talent breaking onto the scene to seasoned veterans pushing their limits, every team's journey is a narrative waiting to be written.
With the return of Gusii giants Shabana into the top-tier league, new rivalries will be ignited and the pursuit of glory will fuel every kick of the ball.
The stage is set for a rollercoaster of emotions, spectacular goals, and unforgettable moments.
One of the stars to watch is two-time FKF Premier League Golden Boot winner Eric Kapaito who has made a return to the domestic scene by joining Tusker.
The former Kariobangi Sharks attacker netted 25 goals to win in 2021, three years after he went home with the award after netting 16 goals in 2018.
Speaking to the club's media after his return to Kenya after a two-year stint in Ethiopia, Kapaito said he is excited for the new challenge.
"Tusker is one of the biggest teams in the country and I did not think twice to join them when I was approached. I am back home and I have no pressure to perform. I take everything positively and I am looking forward to helping the team by scoring goals," said Kapaito.
"As a striker, I am targeting double digits' goals this season as we work as a team to achieve the target of reclaiming the title we lost to Gor Mahia."
Tusker will play Bandari at Mbaraki Sports Complex. Last season, Tusker lost both the league title and the FKF Cup despite being in a pole position to lift a double and they will be banking on Kapaito to help improve the team.
Kapaito was also the KPL Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2018 and 2021.
