  • Quartet return for Talanta clash

    Quartet return for Talanta clash

    Defenders Kenedy Vidic Onyango and Dennis Decha Wanjala, defensive midfielder Clifford Ouma, and flyer Samuel Kapen, are all back for the second last game of the 2022-23 FKF Premier League season against FC Talanta set for Kasarani Annex on Tuesday 20 June 2023 starting at 3 pm.

    The quartet all missed the last game played at the same venue during the last round against Nzoia Sugar for varied reasons.

    While Kapen and Onyango were serving yellow card suspensions, Clifford and Wanjala were nursing cuts following a collision during a recent game against AFC Leopards in Nyayo Stadium.

  • Abuyeka Kubasu named for Nzoia tie, set for debut

    Abuyeka Kubasu named for Nzoia tie, set for debut

    Midfielder Abuyeka Kubasu is the freshest Nairobi City Stars player to be named for a league game, this time for a 32nd-round FKF Premier League tie against Nzoia Sugar in Kasarani Annex on Saturday 3 June 2023 starting at 3.15 pm.

    Abuyeka, signed from Vapor Sports in the mid-March transfer window, is the 33rd – and last – Simba wa Nairobi player to be named for a league game this season.

    In being named to the matchday squad, Abuyeka, a Dagoretti High School alumnus, moves ever so close to making his Kenyan topflight debut.

    Other than Abuyeka, the other changes in the 19-man squad includes Ronney Kola and keeper Jacob Osano who both missed out on the last tie against AFC Leopards in Nyayo Stadium on Monday.

    City Stars heads to the Nzoia game with the leanest of squads following the absence of four players who featured in the Monday game.

    Centre-back Kenedy Vidic Onyango and flyer Samuel Kapen have been left out due to yellow card suspension (five each), while left-back Dennis Decha Wanjala and defensive midfielder Clifford Ouma are out due a collision that left them in stitches.

  • Abuyeka Kubasu: I am taking in vital lessons

    Abuyeka Kubasu: I am taking in vital lessons

    Central midfielder Abuyeka Kubasu, a mid-season signing, has a wish list – to break into the Nariobi City Stars team before the 2022/23 FKF Premier League season comes to an end in June.

    The immediate former Dagoretti High student featured for Vapor Sports in the third tier before crossing over to Simba wa Nairobi in February 2023.

    Abuyeka is yet to make the cut for matchdays but believes it’s only a matter of time before makes his bow in the top flight.

    But before then, he admits that he has his work cut out before he can achieve his dream.

    “Training with Nairobi City Stars has been a real eye-opener. Mingling with some known and very experienced players has changed my view and approach,”

    “I have learned so much in the last few months and have been brought up to speed on key aspects of the game that I may have bypassed while featuring in the lower leagues. Things like when to press effectively, one-time control, and many others,”

    “I believe that I am a much better player now and I am all psyched up for the top flight. I am now working hard to make the matchday squad and then earn my first league game. From there I can build it up and establish myself further.”

    “I am encouraged because some players who I featured with at Vapor Sports recently such as Timothy Ouma now in Sweden began making his big strides at City Stars. Now Rowland Makati, Pius Omachi, and Newton Ochieng  whom I played with recently are slowly establishing themselves. I want to follow in their foot steps.” added Abuyeka

    Other than featuring in midfield, Abuyeka can plug in at right-back which was his area of operation earlier on.

    He is currently the only City Stars player yet to feature in the premier league this season. Another 31 players have already clocked their minutes in the top flight.
