Shabana FC head coach Sammy Okoth has welcomed the announcement by Kisii County Governor, Simba Arati that the Simeon Nyachae Stadium will be reopened soon so that the club can use it from next season.The facility has been undergoing renovations for months now and last season, the former FKF Premier League side was forced to use the Green Stadium in Awendo and later Narok County Stadium for their home matches, this came with long travels for the club.##NAJAVA_MECA_6724282##Okoth is happy that they will finally get to play at home terming the move by the county government as a big boost to the sleeping giant.“This is positive news and we want to thank the governor for pledging to reopen the stadium, it will help us in a very big way,” he said.For the tactician, the travels came at a cost as he believes they failed to win some games due to fatigue that arose from constant traveling. H believes the move will boost the team’s promotion hopes.“Last season we more or less played all our matches away because it involved us traveling and in some games, we dropped points due to fatigue, this will come as a huge boost for us on that front. It will boost our promotion chances as well and we are going to do all we can to ensure that Shabana returns to the top tier,” he added.🆕 | New week 😎 | Monday vibes💙 | Wishing everyone a happy week 🙏#ToreBobe#ToreMorero pic.twitter.com/0gyhCb6lpb— Shabana Fc Kenya (@Shabanafckenya) October 11, 2022 He also believes that playing at home will be beneficial to the team financially and in terms of fans coming to cheer the team.“We spent a lot of money traveling and we did not enjoy much fans’ support because understandably, it was tasking for them to travel all the time. Now that we will be at home we will not only enjoy their support on the stadium but they will also pay to watch games which will also go a long way in bailing out the team financially,”.Trailblazing tactician urges football fraternity to trust female coaches
