The Spain based Nastic Soccer Academy player has also called on the fans rally behind them, as they fight for the regional title.

“We want to make Kenyans proud and the only way is to win matches, get to the final and win the title. That is why we want them to come in large numbers and support the team,” Kibet urged Kenyans
