Without a sponsor it will be very difficult for Stima to bounce back. Football is slowly dying in Nyanza region and this shouldn’t be allowed to happen.— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) August 19, 2021 “I do not have any interest whatever. We are focused on earning promotion on the pitch and I am confident that in the next few years we will be back playing in the premier league. Last season we narrowly missed out on promotion to the National Super League and we are going to rectify the few mistakes that we made so that we can finally earn promotion next season,” Adagala told Mozzart SportA source from Stima camp had earlier disclosed that they had turned down an offer from Adagala’s Muhoroni Youth as they are keen on keeping the team in Kisumu.“They wanted to buy our slot but we were not interested because we are currently trying to get a sponsor to help us foot our bills next season. We cannot let this team die because many upcoming talents from this region will suffer. We are retaining our spot and we are now trying to source for funding,” he source stated.
