The former St John’s Kaloleni Girls High School star started her football career at seven-years-old. Former Harambee Stars goalkeeper Mohamed Magogo is also from Kilifi.
“Other counties are investing in sports but here there is no sign that anything will come up in form of a stadium soon,” Nzaro said in an a previous interview early this year.
He said that at times they are forced to hire stadiums outside the county which is expensive, or they ask permission from Pwani University management to use their field.
From the look of things on the ground, there seems no hope that the Kilifi County government will build a stadium for the benefit of talented football players in the region.
From Kenyan Premier League side Bandari’s Shaban Kenga, Benjamin Mosha and Khamisi Mwinyi , AFC Leopards’ Said Tsuma AFC Leopards to Harambee Starlets’ Essy Akida, who plies her trade in Turkey with Besitkas, have all learnt their football skills the hard way.
