    Visiting Nzoia Sugar FC held Nairobi City Stars to a 1-1 draw during a National Super League (NSL) matchday ten clash played at the GEMS Cambridge grounds on Tuesday 29 November 2025.

    Captain Timothy Muganda was the villain and hero scoring both goals. His clearance in the 13th minute inadvertently went in past Arnold in goal gifting Nzoia a half time lead.

    But the skipper atoned for that mishap with a headed corner deliverd by City Stars debutant James Kibande in the 78th minute for a share of the tokens.

    With a point in their first season game at the GEMS Cambridge, Simba wa Nairobi improved its points haul to eleven points to move to 14th spot in the 20-team log.

  • Venue and date switch for Nzoia clash

    Venue and date switch for Nzoia clash

    Nairobi City Stars will now host Nzoia Sugar on Sunday 24 September 2023 in Ruaraka, and not the Saturday before in Kasarani Annex as had been earlier scheduled.

    The changes were necessitated as being informed by Sports Kenya of the unavailability of the facility following the closure of Kasarani for renovations.

    The Ruaraka clash during the upcoming matchday four tie in the 2023-24 FKF Premier League will be the first outside the Kasarani precinct.

    The opening two games against Muhoroni Youth and Bidco United were played at Kasarani Annex, and the third against champions Gor Mahia was at Kasarani Main.
