    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.

    Kenedy Onyango drops his comments after Mathare win

    Centre back Kenedy Onyango aka Vidic is optimistic following the recent 3-0 win over Mathare United in Kasarani during FKF Premier League match day 21 on Wednesday 29 March 2023.

    Vidic, who skippered the side during the game, is confident Simba wa Nairobi will have a strong finish to compensate for the poor stretch during the first leg.

    His comments are in relation to City Stars’ stagnation in the relegation red zone for the better part of the current season.

    “It was a survival decider. We were fighting for our teams survival,” he said of the win against Mathare

    “Where we are is embarrassing. But how we finish the race is more important than how we began. We still have a chance to fight and correct our previous mistakes,”

    “The only thing we can promise is to give our best and once the consistency is there, we can beat any team on a good day.” he added

    Onyango has featured in all league games for Simba wa Nairobi this season but one and has gone on to complete 19 of them. He is the most used player with a record 1,767 minutes of playtime.

    Trio back for Bullets clash

    Midfielders Peter Opiyo and Oliver Maloba, as well as stopper Kenedy Onyango, are back for FKF matchday eight tie against Vihiga Bullets in Bukhungu Stadium, Kakamega on Sunday 8 January 2023 starting 3 pm.

    While Maloba and Onyango sat out the last game against AFC Leopards, Opiyo is back to the squad after missing the last two games, including the pre-Leopards tie against Kariobangi Sharks.

    Onyango came in as a like-for-like replacement for center-back Elly Kessy Osotsi who made his top-flight debut against Leopards, as Maloba and Opiyo are additions to the last squad, stretching the traveling number to 20 players.

    With the two out, the remaining 18 players from the last game will step out to face the Leopards.
