    Friendly Fire: Nairobi City Stars 4 Kayole South Ward FC 0

    A brace of goals from Mohammed Bajaber, and one each from Brian Mose, and Yuto Kusaba handed hosts Nairobi City Stars a 4-0 win over Kayole South Ward FC during a shape-up game at Ligi Ndogo Grounds on Wednesday 30 August 2023.

    Bajaber headed home the opening goal on 13 minutes after connecting to a power throw-in from Brian Mose. He completed his brace just three minutes later off an assist from Yuto.

    It was 3-0 after 32 minutes when Mose sent home a Clifford Ouma assist.

    The tie ended at 4-0 on 53 minutes after Yuto fired home a cross from Bajaber.

    The game handed play time to the set of players that did not feature – or grabbed a few minutes – in the opening 2023-24 FKF Premier League game against Muhooni Youth on Sunday 27 August 2023. It ended 0-0.

    “The friendly game was aimed at handing all players in the squad match fitness before the next game. It playing a competitive friendly against a very good Kayole side, all the players are now at par with those that played on Sunday and can now fight for selection in the next league game against Bidco United on Sunday,” said assistant coach Peter Opiyo

  • 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.
