FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru has undergone facelift recently and the new additions at the facility have given it a fresh look.
The renovation works and setting up of new amenities has taken over two months in order to prepare for the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Champions League CECAFA Zonal Qualifiers that got underway on Saturday.
FUFA President Hon. Magogo Moses Hassim who was in attendance as the tournament kicked off was impressed with the work done and indicated FUFA will always try to improve the facility by hosting such international engagements.

‘As FUFA, we decided that instead of using money to hire other facilities, we shall try to host such competitions at the FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru because this will task us to make improvements on the facility’ stated the FUFA President.
‘When we submitted our bid to host the CAF Women’s Champions League Qualifiers, we had to make improvements on the dressing rooms, parking area, pavilions and indeed there has been great improvement’ added the President.
Some of the new changes include, construction of new dressing rooms to add to the existing ones (now the centre has 4 dressing rooms), an expansive area for the VIPs-on the opposite side of the dressing rooms, parking for the teams behind the dressing rooms and sanitary facilities for the fans.
There has also been painting of the existing structures namely; the administration block(offices), hostels and the main hall.
The President revealed that there will be further changes in future in order to set up a facility that will be used to host international games for national teams.
“The senior teams for men and women are in a higher category but going forward, we shall make more changes and improvements so that we can host international games especially for the junior national teams.”
The CAF Women’s Champions League CECAFA Zonal Qualifiers will run up to 30th August with the Champion earning a sole ticket to represent the region at the final tournament in Cote d’Ivoire.
