New Nyanza Region football boys’ champions St Mary’s School Yala believe their unbeaten run has given them the confidence to challenge for top honours when the 2026 Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) National Games kick off next month in Thika.

Yala will be making their national football debut after ending Agai High School’s dominance in the region.

The Siaya County giants sealed the Nyanza title with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Kisumu Boys in the final, completing an impressive campaign without losing a single match from the sub-county level to the regional championships.
