The Genesis
Around the year 2000, I quit actively playing football, but I haven't ceased being involved in football-related matters, particularly promoting young, upcoming talent through the Wilsen Initiative (Wi), coaching, organizing free master workshops with teams, and digital storytelling for teams (+throughMylens), to name a few.
I co-founded Mathare North Rangers in 2010 and Metro Sports F.C more than 20 years ago.
The Gap That I Seek To Address
In my community, there are over 25 junior teams (U10 - U15) in addition to over 18 senior teams. I have firsthand knowledge of every difficulty teams encounter, including lack of knowledge, frustration, poor management, ineffective capacity building techniques, and resource mobilization.
I have noticed that many outstanding players either lack the desire to play for other clubs, lack knowledge on how to make a career out of playing football, lack mentorship and exposure to play and compete with top level teams, or a combination of these factors.
This is because they are all trapped in the same bubble of numerous similarities and distinct obstacles. In our community, there is now an inflow of players, but in order to develop their God-given ability, they require more exposure and guidance to help them develop the necessary abilities that would lead to a more prosperous future.
The Vision
Right now, playing in a league isn't our major priority; instead, we're looking for opportunities for our players to demonstrate their skills and talent in high-level competitions and friendlies.
One day, I hope to work as a licensed football scout or agent. I want to provide the youth with an in-depth understanding of the football ecosystem so they can become professional footballers.
In the past years I have successfully organized top tier friendly match with Kenya Premier League teams (KPL) like; Police F.C, Mathare United F.C, Tusker F.C and Sofapaka F.C. We hope to compete in more top level friendly games and competitions that will provide us a stage to promote our best players.
The team constitutes different players and coaches from Mathare North who are talented, disciplined, and aspire to play and coach football as a career beyond the comfort and confines of our community.
This is just the beginning, and I pray that it serves as the starting point for a fruitful future of cooperation for the good of all.
