Okutoyi Dominates in Nairobi: Straight-Sets Victory Over Alhussein Aziz

written by Zephany Warui Waweru

Angella Okutoyi continued her commanding form on home soil, dispatching Egypt’s Lamis Alhussein Abdel Aziz in straight sets (6-3, 6-3) at the W35 Nairobi tournament.

The victory at the Parklands Sports Club further cements Okutoyi’s status as a rising force in African tennis, coming off a historic week where she claimed both the singles and doubles titles at the same venue just days prior.

Okutoyi, the former Junior Wimbledon doubles champion, entered the match as the favourite and lived up to the billing with a clinical performance on the clay courts.

  • Fast Start: Okutoyi established dominance early, utilizing her powerful baseline game to break Alhussein Aziz’s serve and take the opening set 6-3.
  • Consistency: Despite Alhussein Aziz’s efforts to mount a comeback, Okutoyi remained composed, mirroring her first-set scoreline to close out the match.
  • Home Court Advantage: Playing in front of a supportive Nairobi crowd, Okutoyi’s familiarity with the surface and conditions proved decisive.

This match was a high-stakes rematch of the 2023 African Games women’s singles final, where Okutoyi also defeated Alhussein Aziz to claim the gold medal. The Kenyan star has now won her last several encounters against the Egyptian, maintaining her mental edge in their growing rivalry.

What’s Next for Okutoyi?

Currently ranked No. 561 in the WTA rankings (and projected to rise), Okutoyi is using these W35 events to rack up critical points for her ultimate goal: qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

“I want to win both legs, and I hope next week will be just like this week,” Okutoyi stated following her recent title win, signalling her intent to sweep the Nairobi circuit.

written by Zephany Warui Waweru

It’s Madrid Derby time as Atlético Madrid take on Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid tonight in a high-stakes Spanish Super Cup semi-final, with a place in the final on the line.

The clash kicks off at 10:00 p.m., coming on the heels of Barcelona’s emphatic 5–0 victory over Athletic Bilbao, a result that has already booked Barça a spot in the final and raised the possibility of a mouth-watering Clásico showdown.

Atlético Madrid will be eager to derail those plans. Diego Simeone’s side are expected to lean on their trademark aggression, defensive structure, and tactical discipline as they attempt to outmanoeuvre their city rivals on the big stage.

Real Madrid, now under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, arrive with renewed tactical identity and ambition. Alonso’s influence has brought a more dynamic and controlled approach, blending Madrid’s traditional attacking flair with structured build-up play. His side will be keen to make an immediate statement by reaching the final.

As always, the Madrid Derby promises intensity, passion, and drama — but tonight, the stakes are even higher. Beyond city pride, a place in the Super Cup final and a chance to face Barcelona await.

Only one Madrid side will emerge victorious to join Barça in the final and keep their title hopes alive.

Bungoma’s Wema Girls Cup Uses Football to Tackle Rising Teen Pregnancy Rates

by Pauline Waswa
written by Pauline Waswa

In a county where the weight of statistics often feels like a predetermined destiny, a local initiative is proving that a football and a field can be the ultimate defence against early pregnancies in Bungoma County.

The Wema Girls Cup, founded in October 2023, just concluded its sixth community tournament, drawing over 400 girls from across the region to compete in a high-stakes championship that ended in a thrilling 1-0 penalty shootout. But for the organizers and players, the real victory is measured in the absence of statistics, zero pregnancies and zero school dropouts among its participants.

The urgency of the Wema Girls Cup is underscored by sobering data. According to the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS), Bungoma County has a teenage pregnancy rate of 19%, significantly higher than the national average of 15%.

Recent data from 2024 further highlights the crisis, with Bungoma consistently ranking among the top four counties nationally for reported cases. Ministry of Health records show a staggering cumulative total of over 106,000 pregnancies among girls aged 10–19 between 2016 and 2023. These numbers often translate into a cycle of poverty, with many girls forced to drop out of school or marry early.

A Shield Against Idleness

“We run tournaments every holiday to engage girls so they aren’t idle,” says Elizabeth Juma, the founder of Wema Girls Cup. Her motivation was born from a troubling observation in her own business, where she saw older men preying on underage girls. “By keeping them busy, they don’t have time for such practices.”

The program’s impact extends beyond the pitch. By partnering with schools like Busia Chapel, the tournament has facilitated sports scholarships for talented players, removing the financial burden of school fees that often makes girls vulnerable to exploitation.

Michelle Masika, the Captain of Murembe Starlets, is a living testament to the program’s success. “Through Wema tournaments, we are being sponsored at school, we don’t pay school fees,” she says. “It keeps us busy and away from ‘bad things.’ We don’t have time to just wander around and engage in un-meaningful practices.”

The Wema Girls Cup isn’t just about football. This year’s event included a conference where women leaders mentored the girls in life skills and reproductive health. Elizabeth Juma emphasizes that the program aims to build champions both on and off the field.

Despite its success, the initiative faces significant hurdles. Women’s sports in Bungoma still battle traditional norms that view football as a “boy’s game,” and there is a dire need for better facilities.

As the county continues to grapple with the “Triple Threat” of HIV, gender-based violence, and adolescent pregnancies, Juma is calling on the community and donors to join the journey.

“You can buy jerseys for a team, you can buy shoes, or you can sponsor education for a girl,” Juma urged. “Help us see that these girls do not fall under the statistic of early pregnancies in Bungoma.”

For the 400 girls who took to the field this season, the tournament wasn’t just about a trophy, it was about reclaiming their future, one goal at a time.

Chepterit Comes Alive as SportyBet Kenya Gifts Motorbike to Loyal Fan

by Daily Trends
written by Daily Trends

SportyBet Kenya continued its “Road to Eldoret” campaign with a high-energy stop in Chepterit, drawing hundreds of residents and volleyball fans as it ramped up awareness for the 2025 Kipchumba Karori Eldoret International Volleyball Tournament.

The colourful caravan transformed the town centre into a vibrant mini fan park, with branded trucks, music, interactive games and live demonstrations creating a festival-like atmosphere. Fans turned out in large numbers to engage with the SportyBet team, learn more about the upcoming tournament and experience the brand’s growing footprint in community-based sports engagement.

A key attraction of the Chepterit stop was the ongoing “Nyakua Nduthi na SportyBet” campaign, which rewards loyal customers across the country. The highlight of the day came when a local woman, a long-time SportyBet player, was presented with a brand-new motorbike after emerging as one of the promotion’s winners. Dressed in SportyBet-branded gear and a safety reflector, she received the keys on stage to loud cheers, a moment that underscored the company’s pledge to deliver tangible rewards to customers at the grassroots.

Organisers used the roadshow to build momentum for the Kipchumba Karori Eldoret International Volleyball Tournament, scheduled for 18–21 December 2025 at various venues in Eldoret, including the Eldoret Polytechnic grounds. The tournament is set to feature 16 elite teams, with defending champions Equity Bank and perennial contenders KCB among the clubs expected to battle for top honours.

Beyond the entertainment, the Chepterit activation highlighted SportyBet Kenya’s broader strategy of pairing sports marketing with community engagement. By taking its campaigns directly to towns along the road to Eldoret, the brand is positioning itself as a visible supporter of local sports culture while celebrating the fans who sustain it.

As the countdown to the December tournament continues, the Chepterit stop served as a lively reminder of what awaits volleyball enthusiasts in Eldoret — high-level competition, growing fan engagement and a renewed focus on rewarding communities that power Kenyan sport.

KSh4M Serve! SportyBet Kenya Title Sponsors for Kipchumba Karori Eldoret International Volleyball Tournament

by Daily Trends
written by Daily Trends

The curtain has officially risen on the 2025 Kipchumba Karori Eldoret International Volleyball Tournament, with SportyBet Kenya unveiled as the main sponsor in a partnership that signals a new era for volleyball in the region.

Injecting KSh4 million into the event, SportyBet as the main sponsor will work closely with the Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) to deliver a three-day showcase of talent from December 19 to 21, 2025, in Eldoret National Polytechnic.

The tournament brings together players from Kenya, Uganda, and Sudan, drawing teams across Senior Elite, self-supporting, university/college, high school, and primary school categories—highlighting the championship’s rapid growth and inclusive design.​

The 2025 edition has attracted a record 64 teams drawn from both self-supporting and Mashinani categories — a milestone that organizers describe as clear evidence of the growing community pipeline feeding the national volleyball scene.

According to Coordinator Paul Bitok, past tournaments have nurtured many players who have gone on to join the professional ranks. He added that the current edition is expected to attract increased scouting attention from grassroots, university, and school circuits alike.

The self-supporting category continues to enhance the tournament’s diversity, featuring 36 men’s teams from counties such as Kericho, Kakamega, Nandi, Kilifi, Trans Nzoia, and Uasin Gishu — all competing for recognition and county pride. On the women’s side, five community teams — Kipkenyo, Starlet Nandi, Kipkaren Queens, Busia Divas, and Sinyereri — will challenge themselves against more experienced opponents.

Bitok emphasized his team’s commitment to providing optimal facilities, smooth scheduling, and stringent safety measures as early pool-stage encounters begin shaping the road to the quarterfinals and beyond.
