Chepyuk Falcons is not just your ordinary grassroots football team. While a majority of football or sporting teams deep in the villages draw players from a single ethnic community, Chepyuk has a national outlook and rightly so, given its location. Sitting slightly above the base of Mount Elgon, the team is home to players from as far as the outermost ends of the rapidly growing cosmopolitan areas of Bungoma and Trans-Nzoia counties. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8946420##The team has elevated the profile of the agriculturally-rich and expansive Chepyuk area, across the two counties, thanks to their solid performances in the Bungoma Regional League, where they currently sit second. Beyond football, locals regard the team as the most effective tool and ambassadors of addressing ethnic tensions and fostering peace in a region that is yet to fully recover from past land-based conflicts. Their efforts in nurturing talents and promoting peace have not gone unrecognised, as Kenya’s leading gaming firm, Mozzart Bet, joined hands by donating full kits and footballs on Thursday.

Their kind gesture will inspire our players to work harder as we aim to secure promotion to the FKF Division 2 League,” said the club’s Secretary Nixon Mbito Towett.

It has since grown in leaps and bounds, becoming a cherished property that keeps the communities at the base of the mountain glued together. “Before the team started, our youth were idle and often vulnerable to political and other societal manipulations. However, the game of football has made a big difference in our region, such that we no longer fight amongst ourselves,” added Towett Why Isaac Omweri donated his Ksh100,000 Mozzart Bet Cup award to two teamsSkipper Dan Marino also joined Towett in expressing gratitude to Mozzart Bet for the donation to the team that is under the tutelage of Moses Kae. “Our challenge of using old uniforms has been solved thanks to Mozzart Bet. We promise to give our best in the remaining matches and secure promotion,” he said.
