13 Years Of Mathare North Rangers F.C

DID YOU KNOW Mathare North Rangers F.C [Seniors 18+]

In 2010, my friends and I established Mathare North Rangers F.C., whose primary goal is to play in local community competitions and develop the next generation of football players in line with the Wilsen Initiative (Wi) tenets.

Even if our goals go far beyond competing in the local league, we don't have the resources or support in place to compete in the federation league or even higher competitions.

I had the pleasure of watching a fantastic match on Sunday between our club Mathare North Rangers F.C. and 11Brothers, which we won 3-1. The match was played at Drive Inn Primary School and was part of the MYSA Mathare North zone competition.

It's crucial to emphasize that as Mathare North Rangers FC enters its fourth generation of players, we are now creating a new squad that we hope will stay with us for at least one year before moving on to greener pastures outside of our neighborhood. Our Team Philosophy

"The philosophy of our team is to have a group of youthful talent and a select group of seasoned players who can inspire the young stars to achieve more, be more, and be different. We make an effort to uphold the highest standards of individual and group discipline that ensures everyone becomes a winner. We still lack the strength to support our club at higher professional levels in the future, but we'll work to Do More, Be More, and Be Different. - Wilson Masaka (TM)

The Challenge

I'm pleased to have reached a major milestone since inception (13 years and counting) despite the numerous hurdles that have prevented us from going much beyond our limit. These are but a few examples;

We have Mathare North Rangers U12 and U17 junior squads.
Arranged a series of elite friendly games especially with Kenya Premier League teams.
The Mathare North Festive Season tournament winners.
Discovered new top talent who later got job opportunities through our team where they were recruited.
Other local Football Federation League teams have signed some of our players.

Resource Mobilization For the Senior Team. - Mathare North Rangers F.C

The majority of our players do not have steady sources of income, but we have adopted the concept of short- to long-term players contributing to a common objective over the years.

We have rescheduled the purchase of a new uniform set and a few footballs from our little efforts for the second week of July, but anyone in my network who would like to help us attain this goal is more than welcome to do so.
