After the conclusion of the friendly fixtures, the team will return to Nairobi on August 11th, where they will enter the final phase of their pre-season training regimen.
The players will during this period focus on further enhancing their physical conditioning and tactical strategies, ensuring that they are fully prepared for the upcoming season.
“We extend our gratitude to our hosts in Uganda for their hospitality and cooperation in organizing these matches. Additionally, we would like to thank our fans and sponsor for their unwavering support as we embark on this crucial phase of our pre-season preparations,” concluded the statement.
After parting ways with 11 players, the club has begun the rebuilding process and has already signed experienced left back Dennis Wanjala from Nairobi City Stars.
