Match19 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Ulinzi Stars, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match19 Aug 2026

Cruel end for Ulinzi Stars as Kakamega Homeboyz pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Kakamega Homeboyz scored in the 117th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

John Omondi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Ben Saul, 21, steals the show — 8.17

Marked 8.17 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market24 Aug 2026

Chris Masinza hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Kakamega Homeboyz can pretend not to have heard.

Market24 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz say no — this time

The offer from Onze Createurs for Brian Opondo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz rebuffed over Lewis Bandi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Gor Mahia have kept their man, and Kakamega Homeboyz go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Kakamega Homeboyz

Denis Iguma and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz supporters have found a favourite in Ben Saul

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Ben Saul has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Ben Saul turns Muranga Seal down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz go back to the board over Hassan Beja

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $379.8K — a club that wants Hassan Beja enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz make their move for Hassan Beja

$310.0K on the table at AFC Leopards. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz rebuffed over Prince Kwabena Owusu

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Hearts of Oak have kept their man, and Kakamega Homeboyz go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Kakamega Homeboyz

Denis Iguma was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market10 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz promote Harun Kagere from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Harun Kagere has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz promote Elvis Odhiambo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Elvis Odhiambo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

Anthony Rupia steps up from the Kakamega Homeboyz academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Anthony Rupia has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near John Omondi

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A career in one shirt: Moses Mudavadi

8 seasons and 101 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Josephat Lopaga signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Josephat Lopaga and Kakamega Homeboyz agree another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Denis Iguma in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kakamega Homeboyz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market3 Aug 2026

Shabana join the queue for Oliver Machaka

Add another name to the list: Shabana have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Oliver Machaka. The answer from Kakamega Homeboyz has not changed — yet.

Estone Esiye did the work nobody counts — 6.63

9 combined actions and 6.63. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Kakamega Homeboyz has picked up the phone to Josephat Lopaga

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Michael Ayumba: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Market3 Aug 2026

Kakamega Homeboyz and Denis Iguma are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
