Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie has proposed hosting a high-profile friendly match between Manchester United and Arsenal at Talanta Stadium, a move that has sparked excitement among local football fans.
Speaking in Parliament, the legislator said such a fixture would help inspire young footballers, boost youth engagement and strengthen grassroots football development in Kenya.
“I am a big fan of Kawangware United. Hon. Mwenje should look for opportunities to bring two of the world’s biggest clubs to Kenya. It would inspire our young players. I am a football fan, Mr Speaker, and I have always supported the great Manchester United. It would be such a spectacle to have Manchester play Arsenal here,” he said.
The MP added that the match could form part of a wider community development initiative, with proceeds channelled towards grassroots football programmes.
