Nairobi United Football Club is laser-focused on securing promotion to the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF-PL) next season. Bolstered by solid leadership, strategic planning, and an unwavering commitment from both players and management, the team is determined to rise to the top of Kenyan football.
Currently placed second in the National Super League (NSL) standings with 31 points from 16 matches, Nairobi United is just one point behind league leaders APS Bomet. The tight race intensifies as the team enters the second leg of the season, with promotion within arm’s reach.
Team captain Isaac Ouma expressed optimism about the club’s trajectory while emphasizing the importance of teamwork and consistent performance. “The club leadership, led by Governor Johnson Sakaja, has done an excellent job ensuring we have everything we need. Now it’s up to us to perform on the pitch and secure promotion,” Ouma stated. He added that his call for improved results should not be seen as pressure but as a rallying cry to motivate the team.
Governor Johnson Sakaja has been a pivotal figure in Nairobi United’s journey, providing essential resources and unwavering support. During a recent event unveiling the team’s new kits and equipment, the Governor reaffirmed his commitment to the club’s ambitions.
“We’re heading into the second leg of the NSL, and I’m confident we’ll make it to the Premier League,” Sakaja remarked. “We have welcomed new players and bonded as a family. I’ve encouraged the team to be resilient, stay strong, support one another, and never give up.”
The Governor also announced that all outstanding allowances had been cleared, ensuring the players and staff are financially secure as they focus on their goals. Additionally, the unveiling of Nicholas Muyoti as the team’s new head coach brought renewed energy and tactical direction.
Nairobi United’s strong position in the NSL standings, coupled with the Governor’s backing and recent acquisitions, sets the stage for an exciting second leg of the season. The team’s focus on resilience and unity underscores their determination to achieve FKF-PL promotion.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Nairobi United, a club poised to make history by climbing to the pinnacle of Kenyan football. With the right balance of skill, support, and determination, the dream of top-flight football could soon become a reality.
