Posted on December 12, 2020 by index

The history of football could be traced as far back as the Stone Age when people kicked things like a bone, a stone or something similar. The first major upgrade to the things being kicked was made by the Chinese some 3,000 years ago when they filled animal skins with feather or hair to use as a ball. The origin of beach football is however nearer than the time football started.

The origin of beach football has been traced to the 19th century. It was revealed that European sailors played football on the sand when they got to the shores of the coastal areas of the South American nation Brazil. It’s not surprising that the same area played host to the maiden edition of the beach football tournament in 1957.

GERMANY FAILED TO KILL OFF SPAIN

Posted on October 9, 2020 by index

Germany would be disappointed with the 1-1 draw against Spain in the UEFA Nations League clash on Thursday. While Spain wereslightly tipped to win the game, Germany were the more threatening side. After losing several chances, Chelsea player Timo Werner scored a brilliant effort but the team could not consolidate, allowing Spain to draw level in the final moments in injury time.

While Spain were superior in the middle, their defence struggled to hold off Werner and former Manchester City star Leroy Sane. The German machines created 11 chances with seven clear attempts at goal.

The formation of the rival outfit has been dismissed by the Football Coaches Association of Kenya, in short KEFOCA, terming it an ineffective and unsuccessful mission.

According to the words of Bob Oyugi, they are having a rough time since 2016 as they have to continue with the coaching clinics without the help of the Kenya Football Association.

He added that they have been conducting active coaching clinics all over the country with highly qualified instructors. They are also conducting coaching clinics for beach football along with other kinds.

Oyugi also said that they have already gone to the extent of building a football coaching center at the St. Anthony School located in the Rift Valley.

Posted on December 4, 2019 by index

Other than football tabloids who wants to grab reader’s attention at all cost by cashing in on the temporary enthusiasm of a city that just won a tie in a cup not even kindergarten kids rate as anything more than a rubber trophy, it is refreshing to see someone on the inside come out and sound that people should not get carried away so much that they forget that they have an actual problem at the club that is yet to be solved.
