Banana Football Foundation

Small acts, big smiles ⚽💙

As a community foundation, we had the privilege of donating one molten speed ball to Kipkaren Primary School. It’s more than just a ball—it’s teamwork, joy, and the spirit of play.

"Every child deserves a chance to play, to dream, and to shine." ✨

We carry the hopes and hearts of these young stars with us as they prepare for their school games next term—and we can’t wait to see them shine on the field again! 🌟

👕JAKIM FOUNDATION JERSEY'S DISBURSEMENT👕

This past weekend on Saturday evening during one of our routine training sessions. We were graced with visitors from JAKIM FOUNDATION.
They came to deliver a full set of jerseys set for us after winning the recently concluded online competition.
On the behalf of our entire community, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Jakim Foundation for your generousity. Your support of football kits has made a significant difference in the lives of our young athletes, boosting their confidence and pride both on and off the field.
Thanks to your kindness, our team now has the proper gear to train and compete with a renewed sense of unity and purpose. We are truly inspired by your commitment to supporting grassroots sports, and we look forward to making you proud with our performance and teamwork.

After the frequent need to be informed from our community about what transpired during our trip to the western region in Likuyani for the 6th edition of the CLEO MALALA SUPERCUP.
'Admin ameamua kutuliza mioyo yetu' 😅

We went to Likuyani, Kakamega county to participate in the highly reputable tournament. The Venue for this stage level was Matunda Primary School.
We had a friendly and welcoming football environment filled with football driven fans and community.

We had a small delay on jersey distribution due to the large coverage area of the tournament but finally, we got dressed the Malala way at the end of the tournament.

Here is how we faired in the games:

1st day:-
Kilimani FC 2️⃣ : 2️⃣ Banana FC
Kongoni United 1️⃣ : 0️⃣ Banana FC

2nd Day:-
Matunda Youth 2️⃣ : 0️⃣ Banana FC
Maua Stars 0️⃣ : 2️⃣ Banana FC

3rd Day:-
Blazers FC Vs Banana FC
(Game rolled over in favour of Blazers as group winners were already available)

This was a proper outfield experience for both our players and management in general as we got to stretch out of our comfort zone and got to experience football in a higher level and what it entails in a different community setting than ours.

We are proud for what our boys did. As long as they 'DID' to us they 'DID' us proud.

'Heko kwao'👏

A special congratulations to Eshikufu Football Club for emerging ulitimate winners of this tournament's edition.
A harsh reminder that we will do better this current year's edition.
!

Special thanks to the our fans and community that made it there to support and cheer the club together.
We love you right back.
We will make you proud!
'Inakuja tuu'

Inshallah

Last year he led a children's tournament covering the whole of Uasin Gishu by which our community was represented by our able two teams Banana Football Club and Rai Fc.
Both the Kids and the society in general felt that this foundation raised the standards of young talent development in our county such as since then, the teams that were brought together by this tournament have gone ahead to participate in the new FKF branch league for the U13 & U16s.
