Among the legends present was former Gor Mahia striker James Goro Oronge, who shared words of wisdom with the young footballers, encouraging them not to abandon their dreams despite the challenges they face at the grassroots level.
"The road to success is never easy, but you should never give up on your dreams. Football is a powerful tool for changing your life and your community, and it's important to keep going, no matter the obstacles," Oronge said.
Peter Dawo, a Gor Mahia hero known for his incredible heading ability during the club's victorious 1987 Mandela Cup campaign, took the time to inspire the players by sharing his expertise in goal-scoring.
"Scoring goals is an art, and it's all about timing and positioning. You have to be in the right place at the right time, and when that moment comes, you need to make it count," Dawo said, reflecting on the discipline and determination it takes to become a top scorer.
The donation of the tracksuits was part of the Eliud Owalo Foundation's ongoing efforts to support and uplift youth in sports across the country.
Hon. Owalo, who has been instrumental in nurturing grassroots talent, emphasized the importance of empowering young players to realize their potential.
"I continue to support young talent because I believe that untapped talent needs to be noticed and nurtured. My mission is to ensure that these young players have the platform they need to succeed," said Owalo.
"Football has become one of the biggest income earners globally, and we need to elect officials who understand the game and have the interest of football development in mind," he said.
The two teams, Dero FC and Siger FC, are now more motivated than ever to achieve their goals, with the support of their community and the advice from football legends ringing in their ears.
