Forty grassroots coaches are set to benefit from a CAF D coaching course that was officially opened by Kibera MP Imran Okoth and FKF NEC Member Nairobi region Michael Majua Ouma on Monday, August 9, 2021, at the Rowllan Camp in Nairobi.

FKF Nairobi West Chairman Caleb Malweyi urged former players to take up the courses provided by the Federation and help us grow football in the country.

“We have seen former international players like Josiah Ougo, Kenneth Wendo and Victor Ochieng come and begin their coaching journey, I would like to urge other players to take up these courses provided by the Federation and help grow the game,” said FKF Nairobi West Chairman Caleb Malweyi.

In a bid to improve the standards of football in the country, the Federation made capacity building one of its key pillars and has over the years trained over 3000 coaches.
