- Looking to continue with that impressive run in the NSL, Otieno said that the team will add to their 22-man squad three to five players. They are looking for replacements of first choice goalkeeper Simon Masaka, midfielder Ambrose Mayuro, and central defender Noordin Juma, who have all since joined Sofapaka.
- “We have good quality players in our team. We are going to check on the areas we have weakness and work on it,” said the tactician, adding that with the sponsorship that NSL clubs receive from the league’s sponsor Betika, he expects his side to perform well.
Soy United coach Samuel Otieno says the team’s promotion to the National Super League (NSL) is well deserved and as a result of working hard despite the Covid-19 pandemic.
