The Safaricom Chapa Dimba All-Stars team is set for their international training camp in Spain, as the telco continues to nurture young talents in the country.
The team, made up of 25 most outstanding players, will depart Nairobi on the evening of Saturday September 6, 2025, for Huesca for a week-long football training camp that promises to elevate their football careers.
In total, 32 players were selected for the All-Star squad. While 25 will travel to Spain, the others have already achieved significant milestones, receiving call-ups to various national and international clubs. These call-ups underscore the incredible talent that Safaricom Chapa Dimba continues to unearth, nurture and propel onto the global stage.
“Chapa Dimba has always been about opening doors of opportunity for Kenyan youth, and today, we are proud to see that vision come alive in an even bigger way. Not only are these young players traveling to Spain to sharpen their skills, but many of their teammates have also earned call-ups to top national and international clubs,” said Safaricom CEO, Dr Peter Ndegwa.
“To see players like Austin Odongo, Emily Moranga, Khamis Nyale break into professional clubs, while others take this next big step in Spain fills us with immense pride. This is the heartbeat of Safaricom Chapa Dimba: empowering our youth, transforming their lives, and showcasing Kenyan football talent to the world,” added Dr Ndegwa.
During their stay in Spain, the team will immerse themselves in a series of enriching activities. They will test their skills against Huesca’s Youth Academy, learn from professional players through expert-led masterclasses, and train at the world-class facilities of the Base Aragonesa de Fútbol, S.D. Huesca’s modern sports city.
The players will also attend a high-energy Segunda Division match between SD Huesca and Málaga CF, alongside cultural experiences such as sightseeing and city tours.
“Visiting Spain and experiencing world-class football has always been a dream, and now it is becoming a reality. I am determined to make the most of this opportunity, learn as much as possible, and use the lessons to grow my football career,” stated Safaricom Chapa Dimba All-Stars player, Swaumu Masungo.
