Eldoret FC

From Kabeko to Kanairo! This weekend was more than just a tournament—it was a testament to our grit, growth, and unwavering determination. From the humble roots of Kabeko to the grand stage in Kanairo, Eldoret FC showed up, fought hard, and left everything on the field at the Tujiamini Festival, powered by SportPesa. Reaching the finals was no small feat. The journey was filled with sweat, strategy, and the spirit of champions. Each match tested our endurance, sharpened our teamwork, and fueled our hunger for greatness. We played our hearts out, giving it our all in every pass, every sprint, and every tackle. Though we fell short in the final against Kwale United FC, losing 1-0, we walked off that pitch with our heads held high. The defeat was just another lesson, a stepping stone to even greater heights. The experience, the camaraderie, and the unwavering support from our fans made this journey worthwhile. A huge thank you to SportPesa and everyone who made the Tujiamini Festival a success. To our supporters—your energy, love, and belief in us mean everything. We may not have lifted the trophy this time, but our journey continues. Eldoret FC is not just a team; we are a movement. From Kabeko to Kanairo and beyond, we rise, we fight, and we keep believing. The best is yet to come! #EldoretFC #TujiaminiFestival #SportPesa #Resilience #Grit #FromKabekoToKanairo

From Grass to Grace—Kabeko to Kanairo, Now Stepping Out to the World! We are all set for the Tujiamini Festival at Dandora Stadium this weekend! With 18 players and two officials, our journey from Eldoret to Nairobi is more than just a trip—it’s a mission to showcase our talent, resilience, and determination. Booked with North Rift Minibus, we depart early, ready to battle the best regional champions on Saturday and Sunday this Valentine’s weekend. This is more than a tournament; it’s an opportunity to test our mettle, prove our skills, and make our mark on the national stage. Leading our squad is Muliro Kelly, a true warrior who has been with us for eight years, growing from a young hopeful into a commanding leader. At the front line is our prolific, tall, and bold striker, Walela Isaac, stepping onto the national stage with hunger and ambition. This is the moment we’ve been working for—an experience that will shape our players and inspire the next generation of footballers. We take pride in representing Eldoret FC, North Rift, and Kenya’s football future. Our journey is just beginning, and we are ready to rise, compete, and leave our mark. Football is in our DNA, and this weekend, we make history! #MashujaaWaAfrika #FootballKE #TujiaminiFestival #EldoretFC

Kick-Off with Purpose! In the first month of the new year, we sold five Mashujaa wa Afrika jerseys and are yet to deliver them.

Senior Team Set for Tujiamini Festival in Nairobi For the first time, we are set to travel with our senior team to Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city, to compete in the highly anticipated Tujiamini Initiative Festival. While there is no prize money, the tournament offers a worthwhile trophy and, more importantly, an opportunity to showcase our talent, resilience, and growth on a bigger stage. This journey is a continuation of our competitive spirit, which saw us battle through the Cheza Dimba regional tournament, emerging as North Rift Champions. Despite our success, we are still awaiting our three-year annual sponsorship worth KES 250,000 per year—totaling KES 750,000—pending the completion of registration and the signing of the contract. The process is ongoing and nearing completion, and we remain hopeful that everything will fall into place soon. Nevertheless, this will not stop us. We are traveling to Nairobi with 18 determined players and two dedicated officials. This trip is more than just a tournament; it is a statement of our commitment to the game and a step towards national recognition. It is a chance to test ourselves against top teams, gain exposure, and experience new challenges. Beyond football, this trip is also an adventure—a chance for our boys to explore Nairobi, experience different environments, and grow both as athletes and individuals. We are ready to embrace the journey, push our limits, and proudly represent Eldoret FC on the big stage. Let’s make this count! #TujiaminiFestival #TransformingOurGame #FootballKE #MashujaawaAfrika

A Legacy of Growth! Our eyes and energy are deeply focused on delivering the strategic plan KPIs—attracting the best partners and scouts, with the vision of becoming a powerhouse in Africa. We dream of having our own training facility and a moderate stadium, but as we work towards these goals, we must not forget the impact we've already made within the community. Eldoret FC has been a beacon of hope for many, providing opportunities to young talent who might otherwise have been lost. We've seen players drop out, some tragically losing their lives through robbery, while others have battled drug abuse and neglect from parents. Yet, through it all, Eldoret FC has been a steadfast source of strength and resilience. We’ve witnessed incredible stories of perseverance—some players did not wither, and a good number have transitioned into our league roster. In these 5 years of growth and learning, we have seen the transformation of young boys into men. One example is Caster, who began his journey at Kabeko and has since become a police officer. His return to the club symbolizes the strength of our community. His ability to balance serving Kenyans in law enforcement with his passion for football serves as an important lesson to the school kids—sport and academics must go hand in hand. Our journey continues to inspire and shape the future of many young athletes, proving that perseverance and dedication truly create lasting change. #TransformingOurGame #MashujaaWaAfrika

Elimisha Shujaa We believe that education and football go hand in hand. Our Elimisha Shujaa initiative aims to support and empower talented footballers by providing them with access to education through the payment of school fees and academic requirements. We understand that many young athletes face the challenge of balancing their passion for football with their educational needs. Through this initiative, we aim to bridge that gap and ensure that our players have the opportunity to succeed both on and off the field. Over the years, Elimisha Shujaa has made a significant impact on the lives of many young footballers. To date, we have successfully supported five students in both secondary and primary schools, helping them pursue their education while developing their football careers. Among these students are our very own Captain, Kimongo Gabriel, and Sechero Andrew, both of whom have shown tremendous potential and dedication, both in the classroom and on the field. This year, we are thrilled to announce that we will be enrolling our striker, Walela Isaac, at the Eldoret Technical Training Institute (ETTI). Walela's hard work and talent on the field have made him an invaluable member of the team, and we are proud to support his educational journey. By enrolling him in this institute, we are giving him the chance to further his career and ensure his future, regardless of what path football may take him down. At Elimisha Shujaa, our mission is clear: to support talented athletes, provide them with the tools they need for success, and help them realize their full potential in both education and sports. We look forward to continuing this journey and empowering even more young footballers in the future. #ElimishaShujaa #FootballAndEducation #EmpoweringTalents #EldoretFC #SupportYoungAthletes #EducationIsKey #TransformingOurGame
