• This is the first time that a huge number of football coaches are visiting Kenya
• Standard Chartered is the primary sponsor of Liverpool coaches visit Kenya
• They are training Kenya coaches under the “Play On: Train the Trainer” program

In a surprising move for Kenyan football fans, news of 35 Liverpool coaches visit Kenya is the talk of the town.  This is the first time that a huge number of football coaches from one of the best clubs in England are pitching camp in Nairobi, Kenya.

Liverpool Coaches Visit Kenya

Standard Chartered is the primary sponsor of Liverpool coaches visit Kenya under the “Play On: Train the Trainer” program. It aims to provide local coaches with the resources they need to motivate the upcoming generation of Kenyan football players, especially girls as part of gender empowerment and development of African sports.

During their three days in Nairobi, the 35 coaches from the English Premier League (EPL) club Liverpool will help in the development of Kenyan football. They are from the LFC Foundation and the Reds’ International Academy. They are implementing a unique program that combines classroom lectures with on-field training. One of the components of the LFC coaching program is providing local football coaches in Kenya with comprehensive instruction.

In addition, the Liverpool coaches are rolling out a person-centered coaching mentorship method, which also addresses obstacles that prevent girls from participating in sports. Additionally, emphasis will be placed on how important mental health and well-being are for young athletes. Local coaches will cover a wide range of football dynamics tied to football development and women empowerment. In addition, with an eye on growing football in Kenya, workshops will address significant subjects like life balance and empowering women in leadership.

Liverpool Coaches’ Visit to Kenya and its Effects

To begin with, the intent of Liverpool coaches visit Kenya is ideally to promote sports. While all of this revolves around football, the Liverpool coaches have a comprehensive plan that also takes into account the challenges that female athletes face in order to compete and thrive.

Joyce Kibe, Head of Brand Marketing and Corporate Affairs at Standard Chartered, praised the LFC and Reds’ International Academy-led program. According to her, sports are the primary trigger for their goal of bringing about significant change in Kenyan communities.

Standard Chartered is looking at having a long-lasting effect on the communities it serves using sports as a channel to impact them. Through this relationship, they are encouraging more women to achieve long-term success while promoting sustainable social and economic growth through football.

“Our goal is to create a lasting impact on our communities. This partnership allows us to support sustainable social and economic development, while inspiring more girls to excel in the long term,” said Kibe.

Further, lessons will be applied outside of the training sessions of the “Play On: Train the Trainer” program. Local coaches will use the “Play On” curriculum in their own session plans, putting their newly acquired knowledge to the test. Once returned to their communities, these initiatives will be put into action, directly affecting girls at the local level.

To boost the number of female football players in Kenya, Standard Chartered’s project through Liverpool coaches visit Kenya is a significant step in the right direction. While a few women’s football teams exist, there is a marked lack of enthusiasm for the sport among other women. Coaches from Liverpool, though, are in Nairobi to alter this story.

Moreover, by giving local coaches the necessary training and fostering a caring environment, the program seeks to uncover and nurture latent abilities. Giving local Kenyan football coaches the resources they require to develop talent that can thrive in the community and perhaps even reach the international stage is just as important as just imitating Liverpool’s style of play.

Without a doubt, the local football fan base in Nairobi has been delighted by the coming of experienced LFC coaches. This is a fantastic chance for Kenyan coaches to join a top squad and pick the brains of the greatest. This information and talent exchange is beneficial for both the coaches and the future of Kenyan football, particularly for young girls who wish to leave their mark on the beautiful game.

The Liverpool coaches’ three-day visit to Nairobi may seem brief, but it will definitely have a lasting impact. Furthermore, by empowering local coaches and fostering a culture that values girls’ involvement, “Play On: Train the Trainer” will transform Kenyan football.
