To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the InterCommunity Cup (ICC) which focuses on empowering youth through sports and education, FC TrussFutproudly participated in this prestigious event which was held in Moshi,Tanzania with two teams: an Under 13 boys’ team and an Under 16 girls’ team.

During the tournament, our Under 13 boys performed exceptionally well in the group stage, securing a spot in the finals. The final match between Angaza All Stars and Ayiera Initiative in the Under 13 Boys category was nothing short of exhilarating. It truly embodied the essence of competition, determination, and sportsmanship.
The game kicked off with Ayiera Initiative taking an early lead with a finely executed goal, setting the stage for an intense showdown. However, this initial setback didn’t deter Angaza All Stars. They showed remarkable resilience and teamwork, staging a remarkable comeback.
With impressive displays of skill and tactical brilliance, Angaza All Stars not only equalized but managed to net two outstanding goals. The crowd couldn’t contain their excitement as they witnessed this thrilling turnaround. The players’ passion and unwavering dedication were evident in every move they made on the field.

The FC TrussFut team emerged as the champions in the Under 13 category for the year 2013. Additionally, our talented player, Jothan Gitonga, achieved the remarkable feat of being the top scorer among the U13 boys. It is with great joy and honor that we also presented the well-deserved trophy to the esteemed Kiambu Governor, Mr. Kimani Wamatangi at the Kiambu County Office.

Handball is a well-known sport and part of school sports in elementary school, but many public schools lack knowledge about it.  After participating in the kick-off event in Nairobi in October 2017 with a goal to promote the sport in general and its role in conserving the environment by SoccerBALL KENYA, we are now looking to establish handball as a social development tool by hosting skilled volunteers from Germany and South Africa from October 2021.

In partnership with Zebstrong, we organized prison Olympic games which is a duplicate of the Olympic games taking place in Japan. The inmates were engaged in a variety of games including football, volleyball, tug of war, javelin, and athletics. During the event, we shared with the inmates the dangers of drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol and mental health awareness. Inmates and police officers need mental support as they go through tough situations in the prison environment. Stigma and discrimination are high among inmates. As per the deputy officer in charge of the prison, sporting activities reduce inmates’ misbehavior in prison as they would not want to be barred from participating in the activities.

We are happy to be part of the Bundesliga Youth Ambassadors Program that kicked off on 27 February, the program goal is to develop a group of 35 young adults aged 18-25 into self-asserted community leaders as part of a long-term commitment to grow football internationally. 

  • The Bundesliga is training 35 Youth Ambassadors to use football as a tool for social change, 5 of those Youth Ambassadors are from Angaza Sports and Development Centre.
  • The 1.5-year program is developed for participants in partnership with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, streetfootballworld and Transforming Young Stars of Africa
  • The Bundesliga Youth Ambassadors serve as educators and role-models within their communities
  • It focusses on several educational and social components, from personal development to communication for societal change, and collaborative work.

As Bundesliga Youth Ambassadors, they serve as role models and multipliers to bring about positive change in their communities. During the program, the young leaders are acquiring general football coaching capabilities and learning how to utilize the game as a tool to teach life skills and educate others on different challenges in daily life. They are influencers in their local communities and engage with their peers on social media through their shared passion for the Bundesliga

As part of a five-day kick-off event in Nairobi which started on 27 February, the young leaders joined training sessions led by TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, developed their interpersonal and life skills, and experienced the unique atmosphere of the Bundesliga games as part of an exclusive watch party on Matchday 24.

The Bundesliga is a league that always puts its fans first, bringing them together across all areas of life. The Youth Ambassador Program is an important part of the league’s unique philosophy to embrace the social dimension of football and convey the values and ideals of ‘Football as it’s meant to be’ to younger generations around the world. Since its kick-off in Kenya in February 2020, our 5 selected ambassadors and 1 mentor skills and knowledge in child-oriented football coaching through TSG Hoffenheim junior coaches, online self-paced activities.  Our five BUYA ambassadors have since been able to design a Covid-19 response project and reached 60 bodaboda riders and 210 young girls with mental health awareness messages, distributing hand sanitizers, informative reflectors, and sanitary pads as well as develop a Covid-19 awareness drill called the PROTECT THE PEOPLE drill.

  • Installation of handwashing stations in 8 clusters of Kiandutu slums and provided water and handwashing soap. 
  • Distribution of hand sanitizers and face masks

Around the world, everyone is feeling the heat brought about by Covid-19 pandemic, and our communities are not left behind.  As a sport for good organization, we believe every little bit counts and we have taken the following initiatives; –

  • Establishing WASH ( water hygiene and sanitation ) areas at strategic areas in the slums that have clean water and soap. At these points, each one will be able to regularly wash their hands, be informed on Covid-19 pandemic, and walk away with Covid-19 information material
  • Social distancing campaigns and awareness including practical designs in the community. Since most of the small businesses are still open, and people are still moving around from 5 am to 7 pm, we are educating them on:
    • Importance of social distancing
    • How to designing 1m distance in their area’s business
    • Regular disinfection of their places of work
    • Use of protective masks
  • Importance of following government directives
  • Social media campaigns and awareness

We are in need of more masks, soap and clean water, we welcome anyone willing to work with us
