Speaking on the announcement, JGF president Vincent Mukiri says the Foundation is keen on developing the juniors.
"The training is part of our development initiatives. The squad consists of our best performing juniors who are based in Kenya and abroad. This helps us to have a ready pool of elite juniors. With more juniors than ever joining the sport, our goal is to develop, grow, and open more doors for them locally and internationally," he offered.
According to the president, this is not just about competition. "It is about growing the game and giving every child with talent a chance to shine. This provisional list will continue to evolve as players progress through training camps and performance assessments.”
