The Rise of Aldrine Kibet: How Kenyan Wonderkid Attracted Interest From Spanish Side Celta Vigo
Kenyan teen sensation Aldrine Kibet has had a tremendous journey from school games to links with Spanish La Liga club Celta Vigo.
“Today am the happiest Dad across the length and breadth of Kenya, from the Lake to the Sea, Todonyang to Loitoktok.
“For those who wondered, questioned #TalantaHela, these are the fruits of the revolutionary vision of IDENTIFY. NURTURE. MONETISE in a deliberate, intentional & structured way. From School ball games. To @sportsAcademyKE to Nastic Soccer Academy. To the paid ranks of elite football.”
Ababu Namwamba added that it was even more satisfying that the Aldrine-Amos seed pool of talents was large and included other exciting prospects like Alvin Kasavuli and Luis Ingavi.
“Ingavi graduated from MontVerde Academy in Orlando, USA, on May 17 and joined a Michigan semi-pro team ahead of university in August,” he added.
The success of Aldrine Kibet and Amos Wanjala stands as a powerful testament to Ababu Namwamba’s vision for youth development, through structured talent programs like Talanta Hela.
