    Six changes have been made to the squad that took on Ulinzi Stars in the last premier league game as Nairobi City Stars travels to face host Sofapaka at Wundanyi on Saturday 23 January 2021 in a round nine tie starting 3pm. 

    Due to injury, field skipper Anthony Muki Kimani was forced out of the team, alongside striker Vincent Otieno aka Jamaica who misses out for the first time this season. Also out are left footers Wesley Onguso and John Kamau.

    Hitman from The Gambia Ebrima Sanneh joined the 18-man lot to Wundanyi as he seeks his first game of the season after recovering from offseason injuries. Due to his lengthy stay out, he is expected to start off the bench in the upcoming game.

    He is joined by big unit Salim Shitu Abdalla who was given a much needed rest against Ulinzi due to a knock picked in the previous game against Posta Rangers at Kasarani.

    Save for those few changes, the rest of the squad remains the same.

    In the absence of field skipper Muki and overall captain Calvin Masawa who is out with a quad’s tear, Peter Pinchez Opiyo will claim the armband.

    Entry of keeper Jacob Osano and left back Wesley Onguso Arasa are part of four changes effected to the 20-man squad named to face Posta Rangers in a round seven Premier League game set for Kasarani on Friday 8 January 2021 starting 3pm.

    After missing out on the first six games into the Premier League season, Osano and Onguso have made it to the match day and are in search for their debut top flight games for Simba wa Nairobi. 

    Osano missed the initial games largely due to sickness and will now take up the place of teenage keeper Elvis Ochoro who has been acting as the understudy for Steve Njunge.

    Onguso has been onboarded to contest a place against his former employers Rangers of overall team captain Calvin Masawa who suffered an ankle injury in training in the lead up to the game.

    Till his injury setback, Masawa had made the squad for all the games into the season.

    A third change sees the return of dependable forward Davis Agesa Amuyunzu sat out the last three games against Bidco United, Vihiga United and Wazito due to illness. He takes up the place of midfielder Charles Chale Otieno who was forced out due to a swollen arm.

    The final change is on flyer Rodgers Okumu who returns after missing out the Wazito game. He takes up the place of John Kamau who featured in the last game as a substitute.

    Ugandan defender Yusuf Mukisa Lubowa who was hoping for a place in the squad was left out after a muscle tear on his calf

  • Players complete distribution of hand washing stations

    Players complete distribution of hand washing stations

    A select number of Nairobi City Stars players concluded distribution of 100 hand washing stations across several localities in and without Kawangware in the ended week.

    The latest activity was borne out of a coalition with the Nairobi Business Compact on Corona Virus (NBCC) and geared towards helping realize grass root penetration of interventions on the pandemic.

    The latest initiative saw the placement of hand washing stations around businesses and areas with high traffic around Gatina, Satellite, Kabiria, Waruku, Kawangware, Waithaka, Nduaru, Ng’ando and Riruta

    NBCC’s aim in placing and managing of hand washing stations by community members, with it’s partners, is to amplify the hygiene and behavior change.

    During the launch of the same back in August City Stars chairperson Jonathan Jackson said;

    “This acceptance in this community is a priceless bonus as we are able to articulate NBCC’s narrative, have our hand washing stations manned and our staff accepted as being part of the positive change happening in this community.”

    While patrolling the communities to actualize implementation and use of the stations, Nairobi City Stars left back Wesley Onguso, a true community servant said;

    “As players from this community we will embrace anything that goes towards keeping the society safer from the pandemic,”

    “We are taking charge of the implementation and we will keep tabs on them to ensure there is enough and regular water and soap for use within where they have been planted. That is the least that we can do as City Stars players as we are aware that clean hands do more than preventing spread of Covid-19.”
