Kenya Under-20 central defender Faiz Ouma has left the country for a try-out with Major League Soccer side Nashville SC.The announcement, confirmed by his parent club Rainbow FC, comes weeks after Mozzart Sport had reported that he had been training with another MLS side – DC United – during pre-season.Kenyan sensation Faiz Ouma nears MLS move to DC UnitedAn insider had indicated that DC had sent a message harboring the impression that they would sign him, but it now appears that he will instead conduct another try-out in Nashville.According to an insider, Faiz will be stationed at Nashville’s MLS Next Pro side until November and if he impresses, will join the senior team thereafter. Nashville SC, based in Tennessee, began playing Major League Soccer in 2020, and are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference standings with one win out of seven.The move is Ouma’s latest outing, after he was reported to have conducted trials with English Premier League side Crystal Palace in August 2023, before trying out with Scottish second-tier side Dunfermline Athletic FC a month later.The 18-year old, who also featured for Kenya during the 2020 CECAFA U17 Championships in Kigali, Rwanda, was involved in both Kenya U20s matches in last month’s Four Nations Tournament in Malawi, where he started alongside Rainbow teammate Manzur Okwaro.Ouma’s overseas experience extends to United Arab Emirates third division side Elite Falcons, which he joined in October 2022 on a short term deal before returning to Kenya.##NAJAVA_MECA_8021071##
