Playing social football in Nairobi

Hello Dave,

There are a number of social football clubs in Nairobi with professionals who use them as a chance to stay fit. You may want to consider the Parklands Sports Club that has a weekly match. I dont think you have to be a member to play, but you can find that out.

There is also a team that plays in Gigiri, at the Shell field. Lots of expats play there and you may be able to find out about it through your Embassy.

Regards,
Rachel

Hi Rachel, thanks for the information. I will certainly act on it when I arrive in early January. Really appreciate your help. Cheers Dave

Hi Dave,

It will also depend in which area you will be living as traffic in Nairobi can be hectic.

I know of two teams who play Thursdays after work weekly, near Spring Valley, not too far from Westlands and another in Kilimani not too far from Yaya, who play weekends. Should you be living closer to these areas, I can give you the contact numbers of one of the team members.

All the best

Thanks very much for the information ... it's really appreciated. Looking forward to my arival in a coulpe of weeks. Cheers Dave

hey.. mind sharing the contacts of the team playing at Kilimani.. i work near there and would like to throw that in with my exercise regimen.

News?

Hi I am living in Westland do they still have a team here and do u have contact details to play..

Hi dave you still need to know more about football in Kenya

Hello,
I have just moved to Kenya and was interested in playing football which is being played casually on weekends near YAYA center. One of the following replies stated there was a casual pick up on weekends in Kilimani and I would really love to be able to play and I am living very close to there, are you able to provide a bit more information about this, also, is it female friendly or is it strictly a mens team. I don't mind being the only female as long as its supposed to be a mixed gendered thing.

Thank you very much,
Rachel

Rachel,
If you get guys who are serious and play on weekends let me know. I used to play a while back but stopped. I want to start keeping fit again.

Hey Dave 
Can I join your league? I am a football payer since I was under 19 for school. I love this game. As I get to know you are also fond of it. What say??

This Sunday Nyayo Stadium or City Stadium.

Hi there,
I like a sound of your reply. I just arrived in Nairobi and new to the city and will be living here for a year around kilimani area. I would love to join something like social football. I used to play for lower tier league back home. So it would be great if you could pass contacts for where to play.
thank you,
Rishi
