Kenya: Mwalala Keen to Break ‘Nairobi Dominance’ As Homeboyz Hunt for Title

Nairobi — The last team from outside the capital city to win the FKF Premier League title was in 2010, when Ulinzi Stars edged Gor Mahia in an epic battle to win their fourth league crown.

Since then, Tusker FC has won the title four times while Gor Mahia have dominated winning the remaining seven.

It is this dominance from teams in the capital that Kakamega Homeboyz FC head coach Bernard Mwalala wants to break as he hopes his side can finally achieve the dream of winning the FKF Premier League title.

“From the look of things and also considering what the management, coaches and players have put up, we are on a mission to try and break the dominance. For the last almost 15 years, the league has all been about Gor Mahia and Tusker and teams from Nairobi dominating but we also want to change that and try win something for our people back at home,” Mwalala, who took over the reign at the club at the start of the year said.

The tactician, himself a winner of the league title with Nzoia Sugar as a player, has seen the team start off the season in emphatic fashion.

They have accrued 28 points in 13 matches, only losing once. Victories at home against defending champions Tusker FC and record champions Gor Mahia have gone to further on boost their confidence that they can actually do it.

“We are not just saying it but the results on the pitch are showing. This season, our targets are clear and visible to all. We want to win the league. We will keep working harder to ensure that we achieve this goal,” said the former Kenyan international.
