This Saturday, the second edition of the Chapa Dimba na Safaricom youth tournament kicks off in Western Region.

Matches will be staged in Kakamega, Busia and Vihiga counties as the ‘journey to La Liga’ begins.

The tournament targets talented girls and boys aged 16-20 with the intention of evolving grassroot football, consequently propelling the talent to the national limelight.

More than 1500 teams took part in the first edition – whose final was staged at the Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.
