The groundwork for this team was laid many years ago by Wilson Masaka who was able to organize a number of top-tier friendly matches with clubs like Police F.C., Sofapaka, Equity, and Mathare United as well as take part in the 2014 Tusker Pre-Season Tournament.
His philosophy is to combine outstanding football players who want to pursue a career in the sport to play in various settings.
The goal is not an all-star lineup, but rather a more powerful team that is capable of competing at the highest level and is comprised of players who are not only skilled but also disciplined and open to new experiences.
The team's primary goal is to introduce young people from Mathare North to various learning environments so they may develop their skills and, if feasible, take advantage of any openings for player acquisition.
The Point Of View
Despite the numerous difficulties we encounter as a community, I am more passionate than ever about elevating and supporting Mathare North football. Many of the Youngstars should play top-level football in my ideal world, and if that isn't possible, they should be able to make a living playing football at any level.
My career was greatly influenced by football, which allowed me to travel extensively both domestically and abroad and finance both my schooling and my way of life. - Wilson Masaka, +throughMylens and founder Wilsen initiative (Wi).
The Background
We have more than 20 senior teams in the Mathare North community, and each team does reasonably well in different competitions, despite the fact that we could all do even better if we pooled our resources for a single objective.
" I've seen that while we have players that are capable of playing in the Premier League, they are dispersed among several clubs, making it difficult to spot them. Keep in mind that football is a team sport, and for everyone to succeed, we also need a great team that is visible in many competition." - Wilson Masaka.
So what is Mathare North Combined F.C.
This is an initiative that has been established by +throughMylens - Wilson Masaka, who is also one of the celebrated legends in Mathare North football fratenity.
He's also the founder of Wilsen initiative (Wi) that supports football activities within Mathare North especially for U10 - U12 teams (Boys and Girls).
The idea started wayback in the years whereby we have had opportunity to play top tier teams in friendly matches.
The team brings together players, coaches, team managers, resource mobilizers, just to mention but a few. Whenever and wherever it is required, we will contribute our resources, tools, and knowledge for the success of the team.
The Team Formation- Ten Guiding Principles.
