Bandari FC have lined up massive financial rewards and a training camp outside the country for players and the technical bench if they manage to quench the six-year long trophy drought this season.The Dockers last won a major trophy in 2019 when they beat Kariobangi Sharks 3-1 in the final of the Mozzart Bet Cup, formerly known as Shield Cup, at Kasarani Stadium. That success saw the club proceed for a training camp in South Africa where they played two friendly matches against; a then Benni McCarthy-led Cape Town City FC and S.N Rangers. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8726960##Club CEO Tony Kibwana revealed that the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), the owner and financer of the club, were willing to reward the team handsomely in the event of title win. “We have a very generous sponsor, who is always willing to support our programs and anything that contributes to the growth of the club. We have something good in store for our players, if they win a title this season. They already know it,” said Kibwana.

Kibwana said the four players acquired so far, in the mid-season transfer window, was an indication of their hunger for both the cup and league titles. Bandari have so far signed; former Golden Boot winner John Mark Makwata, Harambee Stars centre back Dennis Ng’ang’a, defensive midfielder Clifford Ouma, who has a single Harambee Stars cap and striker Ali Halafu.

We have recruited good players and have faith in the technical bench to win us titles this season,” added Kibwana. Bandari will face Rwafa in the Mozzart Bet Cup Round of 64. Last year, the coastal side suffered an early exit after falling to fourth-tier side Bungoma Stars.
