This trip is not just another travel experience; it is an opportunity to learn, to sharpen your skills, and to showcase your abilities on a global stage. As you embark on this exciting journey to Spain, I wish each one of you a safe trip and a rewarding experience,\u201d said Dr. Peter Ndegwa, Safaricom CEO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12pt 0in 8pt; line-height: 22px;\">The\u00a0All Stars\u00a0squad\u00a0will have the unique opportunity to sharpen their skills under the guidance of professional\u00a0football coaches from SD Huesca, participate in high-intensity training sessions, and play friendly matches against Huesca\u2019s Youth Academy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12pt 0in 8pt; line-height: 22px;\">Beyond football, the players will immerse themselves in cultural experiences, such as sightseeing tours and the opportunity to witness an exciting Segunda Division clash between SD Huesca and M\u00e1laga CF.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12pt 0in 8pt; line-height: 22px;\">\u201cThis is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our players to learn, grow, and test themselves against international talent. For us coaches, it is equally important as we get exposure to new training methods that will enrich the local game when we return. I look forward to the exposure, to experiencing football in a different environment, and to learning new coaching methods and techniques that I can bring back home to continue nurturing our young talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12pt 0in 8pt; line-height: 22px;\">The All-Star team will be captained by Stanley Waswa of Ndura Sports Academy (boys) and Manda Sunira Were of Highland Royals Moi Girls (girls).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Citizen Reporter Published on: September 07, 2025 07:21 (EAT) Safaricom Chapa Dimba All-Stars pose for a photo&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5312],"tags":[139383,2000,299,139386,139382,139381,139384,139385,104],"class_list":{"0":"post-404470","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-chrispine-odindo","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-malaga-cf","12":"tag-peter-ndegwa","13":"tag-safaricom-chapa-dimba","14":"tag-sd-huesca","15":"tag-segunda-division","16":"tag-spain"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115161363277966825","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
