Match24 Jan 2028

Nairobi United sink to position 17

27 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market24 Jan 2028

Ernest Mohammed 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 Nairobi United can pretend not to have heard.

Market24 Jan 2028

Nairobi United say no — this time

The offer from Ulinzi Stars for Shami Mwinyi 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.

Squad24 Jan 2028

A move Patrick Bukari would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Patrick Bukari is living that version at Nairobi United, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad24 Jan 2028

John Otieno falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Tempers go at Nairobi United

Kevin Okumu 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.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Jeffrey Kyereh damages knee ligaments — 54 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 54 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Vitinho 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 Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad27 Sep 2027

No hiding place for Kwadwo Ayew

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kwadwo Ayew, and the manager let it.

Match25 Sep 2027

Wa All Stars get the job done against Hearts of Oak

A 1‑0 win over Hearts of Oak, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Ahmed Hijazi wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Wa All Stars know it.

Player ratings27 Sep 2027

Jonathan Schlupp was the difference for Wa All Stars

Marked 7.67. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Player ratings27 Sep 2027

Nobody could get near Eduardo Acosta

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings27 Sep 2027

Abraham Schlupp shuts the door

Defensive actions: 12, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Mohammed Paintsil shuts the door

Defensive actions: 12, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
