Youngsters on red alert as Nastic Academy comes calling after snapping up Wanjala, Kibet

All eyes will be on Masinde Muliro Stadium, Kanduyi, in Bungoma County, from October 17 to 18, as Nastic Sports Academy of Spain holds a two-day football trial. The program targets young talents from the region and offers scholarship opportunities to train and study in Spain.

Two rising stars who’ve already benefited from the program—Amos Wanjala and Aldrine Kibet—are urging local youth not to miss out on the opportunity to be scouted.

Amos Wanjala, a product of St. Anthony’s Boys Kitale and now with Nastic Academy in Spain, is preparing to join La Liga side Elche CF.

Wanjala encouraged young players to take advantage of the opportunity, saying, “You never know when your chance will come. This program changed my life; it can change yours, too.”

Another shining example is Kibet, who passed through the Nastic program and plays for Celta Vigo, one of Spain’s top football clubs. Kibet urged all youth in the region to attend the event, saying, “The program helped me a lot. It’s a chance to dream big and go far.”

Nastic partnered with Kenya’s Talanta Hela, a flagship program launched under former Sports CS Ababu Namwamba. Talanta Hela aimed to develop sports and creative talents from grassroots to global arenas.

 Aspiring footballers are urged to show up in numbers and give their best in what may be their breakthrough to Europe.
