    New date, venue for Leopards’ fight

    AFC Leopards will now host Nairobi City Stars in FKF Premier League matchday 33 on Monday 6 June 2022 in Thika Stadium starting 3 pm.

    The game had initially been planned for Saturday 4 June in Nyayo Stadium but was later pegged back by a day to Sunday at the same venue.

    “Leopards informed us first of the shift from Saturday to Sunday in Nyayo, and later came back to inform us that due to lack of the original venue on Sunday, the game had to be moved to Thika on Monday,”

    “We have since taken note of the inevitable changes and informed our technical bench accordingly.” said club CEO Patrick Korir

    Nairobi City Stars will host multiple league champions Gor Mahia in Kasarani on Sun 29 May 2022 starting at 3 pm, a day later than had been scheduled.

    The game was previously planned for Saturday 28 May 2022 at the same time and had been planned for the Narok Stadium.

    “We have had to re-consider hosting the game in Nairobi after Narok County informed us our prior booking had been cancelled for a political function at the Narok Stadium on Saturday,”

    “But we can now confirm the game will be played a day later, on Sunday 29 May 2022, at Kasarani (Main) Stadium as the venue is not available on Saturday.” said club CEO Patrick Korir

    It will be the first time that City Stars will play a premier league game at the Kasarani Main Stadium after a  2,038 day hiatus, since 30 October 2016 when the team fell 3-1 to Kakamega Homeboyz, and ultimately got relegated from the topflight after 12 straight seasons.

    Nairobi City Stars’ next FKF Premier League game against Wazito FC will be played on Monday 9 May 2022 in Nyayo Stadium starting 3 pm.

    The game was initially planned for Sunday 8 May 2022 in Kasarani, at the same kick-off time, but the unavailability of the venue, as confirmed by home team Wazito FC,  necessitated the changes.

    “Our host Wazito has written to us confirming the change in kick-off day from Kasarani on Sunday to Nyayo Stadium on Monday,”

    “We have taken note of the changes and will adjust our schedule accordingly.” said club CEO Patrick Korir

    Considering the shift in dates, the Wazito – Nairobi City Stars clash will be the last round 29 tie in the 2021-22 FKF Premier League schedule as all other ties will be played between Friday 6 and Sunday 8 May.
