Hon. Reuben Chepsongol Pledges Strategic Support for SAAL FC a club in Bartabwa ward.
Hon. Reuben Chepsongol, Director of the Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA), has made a significant commitment to support the growth of SAAL FC and the broader Saal community. Recognizing the vital role of grassroots sports in youth development, Hon. Chepsongol has pledged his full backing to the club, signaling a promising future for local athletics.
SAAL FC was established by youth leaders in Saal Village as a proactive initiative to engage young people during school holidays, fostering productivity and curbing negative peer influences. Despite being an emerging club, SAAL FC has already garnered a reputation for exceptional teamwork and discipline. Their conduct on the pitch—marked by professionalism and respect—is often cited by observers as a direct reflection of the values instilled in the Saal community.
The club’s influence is evidenced by its status as a sought-after partner for friendly fixtures. Established teams, including Moigutwa FC, Water FC, Terenin FC, Kamweton FC, Kaboron FC, and Bartabwa FC, frequently invite SAAL FC for matches, viewing these encounters as essential opportunities to refine their own skills and learn from SAAL’s structured approach to the game.
To ensure the long-term sustainability of this talent pipeline, Hon. Chepsongol has called upon the local community to designate land for a dedicated sports facility. In a show of tangible support, he has committed to mobilizing the necessary funding to transform the site into a high-quality field.
Hon. Chepsongol’s leadership continues to be highly regarded across Baringo County, where his insights and decisive support for community-driven initiatives are consistently felt and valued.
