The Wajir County Directorate of Youth, Sports, and Talent has initiated a rigorous selection and training exercise to form a formidable county football team in preparation for the upcoming 10th Kenya Youth Inter-County Sports Association (KYISA) games.
The selection process is taking place at the Wagberi Primary School field and targets talented youth aged between 18 and 23 years.
The KYISA tournament, slated for April 13-20 in Homa Bay County, is an annual event designed to provide young athletes with an opportunity to exhibit their skills on a larger stage.
Under the theme “Unearthing Raw Talent,” the competition serves as a crucial platform for nurturing emerging football stars, with the potential of earning them national recognition and professional opportunities.
This initiative aligns with the broader vision of Wajir Governor FCPA Ahmed Abdullahi, who has consistently championed sports development as a key avenue for youth empowerment.
By investing in sports, the county administration aims to not only harness and refine local talent but also foster unity, economic growth, and social cohesion among the youth.
Sports development in Wajir County has been gaining traction, with increased efforts directed towards infrastructure improvements, training programs, and talent scouting.
The ongoing selection and training exercise underscores the county’s commitment to positioning its athletes for success at both regional and national levels.
The KYISA games are expected to draw participation from multiple counties, creating a competitive and dynamic environment for young footballers to test their abilities.
For Wajir County, the tournament represents more than just a sporting event; it is a stepping stone toward elevating youth sports and opening doors to greater opportunities in the world of football.
