The Safaricom Chapa Dimba All-Stars Team is set for their international training camp in Spain. The team, made up of 25 of the most outstanding players will depart Nairobi on Saturday evening, 6th September, for Huesca for a week-long football training camp that promises to elevate their football careers.
In total, 32 players were selected for the All-Star squad. While 25 will travel to Spain, the others have already achieved significant milestones, receiving call-ups to various national and international clubs. These call-ups underscore the incredible talent that Safaricom Chapa Dimba continues to unearth, nurture, and propel onto the global stage.
“Chapa Dimba has always been about opening doors of opportunity for Kenyan youth, and today, we are proud to see that vision come alive in an even bigger way. Not only are these young players traveling to Spain to sharpen their skills, but many of their teammates have also earned call-ups to top national and international clubs. To see players like Austin Odongo, Emily Moranga, Khamis Nyale break into professional clubs, while others take this next big step in Spain, fills us with immense pride. This is the heartbeat of Safaricom Chapa Dimba: empowering our youth, transforming their lives, and showcasing Kenyan football talent to the world,” said Dr. Peter Ndegwa, CEO of Safaricom PLC.
During their stay in Spain, the team will immerse themselves in a series of enriching activities. They will test their skills against Huesca’s Youth Academy, learn from professional players through expert-led masterclasses, and train at the world-class facilities of the Base Aragonesa de Fútbol, S.D. Huesca’s modern sports city. The players will also attend a high-energy Segunda Division match between SD Huesca and Málaga CF, alongside cultural experiences such as sightseeing and city tours.
“Visiting Spain and experiencing world-class football has always been a dream, and now it is becoming a reality. I am determined to make the most of this opportunity, learn as much as possible, and use the lessons to grow my football career,” said Swaumu Masungo, Safaricom Chapa Dimba All-Stars player.
The All-Star team will be captained by Stanley Waswa of Ndura Sports Academy (boys) and Manda Sunira Were of Highland Royals Moi Girls (girls).
