After weeks of preparation, Chema now has clear targets on the calendar. The work in training moves towards its first competitive test, with two opportunities to establish momentum at the start of the season.

Head coach Leonard Maina leads Chema’s preparations, supported by first assistant coach Phillip Ndungu and second assistant coaches Denis Barasa and Zachary Mwangi. The technical bench will guide a squad that includes new arrivals Griffin Lwazi, Emmanuel Wamoto and William Odongo as the team prepares for its opening fixtures.

Last season provided encouragement and lessons in equal measure. Chema finished as runners-up in Kenya Division One after losing to KPA in the final and also reached the Kenya Cup final, where GSU took the honours. Those achievements give the club a foundation to build on as another campaign begins.

Now, Chema Family, your part of the preparation begins too.

These are Thursday and Friday fixtures, so plan ahead where you can. Gather your fellow supporters, arrive in good time and help give the team a strong welcome back to league action.

Bring the friend who understands every rotation—and the one who just needs to know when to celebrate. There is room for both. What matters is positive support, club pride and encouragement through every demanding rally.

And yes, get your Chema fan jersey ready. Buying a jersey is a practical way to support the club and carry its colours beyond the court. Already have yours? Wear it proudly. Still planning to get one? The opening fixtures are your reminder.

The opponents are confirmed. The dates are on the calendar. Now the focus turns to making a strong start together.

November 19 and 20. Nyayo. Wear the colours, bring the noise and stand with Chema.

Chema Chajiuza!
