Squad6 Sep 2027

Anthony Olunga damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 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.

Match4 Sep 2027

Douglas Ochoko leads the rout of Kariobangi Sharks

3‑0, and Douglas Ochoko took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Sofapaka tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

Age has not caught David King'atua yet — 7.97

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.97 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market6 Sep 2027

Nairobi United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Sofapaka did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market6 Sep 2027

Only the photograph left for Aron Kithae

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Aron Kithae will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Sofapaka the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad6 Sep 2027

David Nshimirimana 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 Sofapaka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces6 Sep 2027

Sofapaka supporters have found a favourite in Maqbul Ochola

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Maqbul Ochola 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.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Words at Sofapaka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Titus Achesa is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market6 Sep 2027

Japheth Lihanda is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Sofapaka has been clear about where Japheth Lihanda stands, which is more than many ever get.

Anthony Olunga damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 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.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Sofapaka

David Nshimirimana 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.

Words at Sofapaka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Clifton Miheso is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match28 Aug 2027

Eugene Wethuli the difference as Sofapaka beat Mara Sugar

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Eugene Wethuli. 1‑0 against Mara Sugar, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

Japheth Lihanda takes the honours

Marked 7.71 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Sofapaka had the best player on the pitch.

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

Nobody could get near Clifton Miheso

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Anthony Olunga damages knee ligaments — 32 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 32 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.

Bandari come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Sofapaka did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match21 Aug 2027

The wait goes on for Sofapaka

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match21 Aug 2027

A bad afternoon for Sofapaka against KCB

1‑3 to KCB, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Clifton Miheso 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.

Tempers go at Sofapaka

Japheth Lihanda 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.
