    Rogers Wasega shares gains from CECAFA U20 Championship

    Budding left back cum winger Rogers Wasega has come forward to praise the CECAFA U20 Championship that recently concluded in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

    In the tourney, Kenya U20 scooped silver, and qualified for the U20 Africa Cup of Nations to be held sometimes next year becoming the first ever Kenyan age-grade side to achieve the fete.

    At the event, Wasega earned his junior cap during Kenya’s opener against Tanzania on 6 October, 2024.

    He went on to feature in another five games against Rwanda, Djibouti, Sudan in the group stages, in the semis against Burundi, and in the final against Tanzania where Kenya emerged first runners up.

    Prior to travel, while at camp in Kenya he said: “I learned to keep working harder”

    And after Kenya’s historic achievement he said:

    “It was a nice experience being my first international tournament,”

    “I gained some experience from playing all matches and I bet the next call callup I’ll step in with more confidence,” he added

    Wasega has now trained his sights on the upcoming league games, and the junior U20 African diadem.

    “It’s now time to refocus to the league where I aim to earn as many matches as possible to build my game,”

    “That will enable me present the experience from the tournament and put me in good stead as I aim for a place in the squad when the U20 Africa Cup of Nations arrives next year.” he concluded

    Prior to heading out to Tanzania for the CECAFA Championship, Wasega had only earned one Kenyan Premier league game, Simba wa Nairobi’s season opener against Bidco United in Dandora.

    There will be two notable changes from the squad that opened the season against Bidco United last weekend when City Stars takes on Mara Sugar in matchday three on Saturday 21 Sept 2024 in Awendo starting at 3 p.m.

    Head-to-head: Mara Sugar (H) vs Nairobi City Stars (A) vs: 2024-25 FKF-PL season

    Two left backs Rogers Wasega who made a full debut against Bidco, and newcomer Stephen Bulugu are all out of the travelling squad and their places have been snapped up by new defender Brian Opinde and defensive midfielder Clifford Ouma.

    Wasega recently earned a callup to the Kenya U20 team preparing for CECAFA duty in a fortnight and has been given time off to prepare for camp from Sunday.

    A slight injury has kept Bulugu out therefore giving a chance to Ouma to make the trip.

    Save for the two changes, the other 18 players all maintained their places in the squad.
