Shabana FC’s return to the FKF Premier League this season has been a mix of optimism and challenges as they work to establish themselves in the top tier. The club’s campaign began with renewed energy following the completion of renovations at Gusii Stadium, their home ground.
The Sh34 million upgrade, including an improved playing surface and enhanced security infrastructure, is expected to bolster home support and provide a formidable atmosphere for visiting teams.
On the pitch, Shabana has shown flashes of potential but also signs of the struggle that often accompanies newly promoted teams. After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, the team has undergone significant changes, including reconstituting their technical bench with seasoned professionals. These changes aim to strengthen the squad and avoid another close call with relegation.
While the “Glamour Boys” have garnered immense support from their passionate fan base, their results have been inconsistent.
The Kisii based community club secured their first win of the season in emphatic fashion, defeating Kenya Police FC at the newly refurbished Gusii Stadium in Kisii yesterday.
The victory marked a significant milestone for the “Glamour Boys,” as they not only delighted their passionate home fans but also demonstrated their potential to compete with seasoned FKF Premier League teams.
This triumph comes amid their efforts to solidify their presence in the top tier, building on their home advantage at the upgraded facility.
Moving forward, Shabana’s focus on home advantage at the revamped Gusii Stadium and strategic recruitment will be pivotal in ensuring they remain competitive in the league. Fans and stakeholders remain hopeful that the team will solidify its position and continue its upward trajectory in Kenyan football.
