their skills.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pepeta Joseph Mbugua, praised the players, fans and
community for making the inaugural tournament a success.
“The Iwake Fest is more than just football, it is about giving back to the community and creating opportunities for young, talented players who have not had a platform to showcase their abilities. The passion and energy we witnessed over these two days is proof that Kenya is full of raw talent waiting to be discovered. As Pepeta, we are committed to making this tournament bigger and better. Our goal is to grow the Iwake Fest into an annual event that not only promotes grassroots football but also uplifts communities by creating a sense of pride, unity, and opportunity. This is just the beginning, and we are excited to expand the festival to include women’s football and other sports soon. We believe the future of Kenyan football lies at the grassroots, and Pepeta is proud to be playing a part in shaping that future,” said Mbugua.
