During the event held at the Nairobi county hall, Governor Sakaja challenged  the lads to strive for excellence in their academics and  sports. The governor guaranteed them of total support  besides ensuring that their sports ground is kept safe from the notorious city land grabbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In attendance was the European Union Ambassador to Kenya, Henriette Geiger, who congratulated the team on their success and encouraged them to enjoy their trip to Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are proud of you. This is a maiden trip for you to Romania. Enjoy it, and as you do so, understand that we are happy with your performance as national football champions,” Geiger said<\/em><\/strong>.

“Be assured that we have you in our hearts. We are proud of you and your performance, and that is why today we have this meeting with the Governor,” Mulama stated<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On his part Youths and Talent Chief Officer, Oscar Igaida, urged the players to be exemplary ambassadors for Kenya as they prepare to represent the country in Mbale, Uganda, after their Romanian tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As you go to Romania, I want to challenge you to be bold and express yourselves on the pitch. Hard word and discipline will take you places.
