This was the French national team 22 years ago. They had just 1 White player (goalkeeper), & no one cared because they were not as dominant as they are today. All the whining is just jealousy & envy
We need to re-run videos from 2007/2008 post election violence. We have forgotten what violence can do to a country. What is going on in this country if not stopped will burn it to the ground
MILDRED OMARI CHECHE
She guided Kenya U17 to their first-ever FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup qualification in 2024.
Now, she has done it again.
Cheche remains the only Kenyan coach to have led a national football team to a FIFA World Cup, achieving the feat twice in 2024 and 2026.
Kenya bags African title as World Rafting Cup debuts in Africa: Kenya became the first African country to host a World Rafting Cup event, with international teams competing on the Grade III and IV rapids of the Tana River in Sagana. The competition gave Kenyan paddlers a rare opportunity to test themselves against some of the world's top crews on home waters.
We should stop calling these goons as if they are just rowdy, individual criminals. They are actually armed militia that the government is organising and mobilising. They are the signifiers of a hollowed out, failing state.
I know many of you will disagree with me, but hear me out.
Today, Eliud Kipchoge left his footprint in Brazil, where it will be preserved for generations.
Months ago, he was honored with a statue in Oregon, USA.
That made me stop and think...
Why does it sometimes feel like other countries celebrate our heroes more permanently than we do?
Where in Kenya can a child walk into a museum and learn about Eliud Kipchoge, Tegla Loroupe, Catherine Ndereba, Conjestina Achieng, Paul Tergat, David Rudisha, Vivian Cheruiyot, and the many legends who carried our flag with pride?
Not a road.
Not a stadium that can be renamed by the next government.
A permanent Sports Museum. Their stories. Their medals. Their records. Their statues. Their legacy.
The greatest gift a nation can give its heroes isn't just applause while they're winning.
It's making sure they're never forgotten.
So let me ask you:
If a 10-year-old Kenyan wanted to learn about our greatest athletes see their statues etc today or in 2050, where would you take them?
I'd genuinely like to hear your answer.
