The Nakuru AllStars are a Kenyan professional football club based in Nakuru, that competes in the Nationwide League, the second tier of football in Kenya.
The club was reformed and created as a continuation of the 1963 and 1969 Kenyan Premier League champions.
In 2010, Kenyan Robert Muthomi reformed and revived the club and its name with a selection of players at under-15 level. Muthomi is a player's representative who includes Kenyan international Patrick Oboya amongst his clients. The club receives media attention from Denmark as prominent sports website Bold.dk co-founder Pierre Vendelboe is an investor in the club.[1]
Vendelboe was part of a consortium which purchased the football club AC Nakuru, and included and merged it with the rest of the Nakuru AllStars club.
Among the members of the new technical staff is Sammy Nyongesa who was a player with the original team in 1969 when it last won the league. He has also previously coached the Kenya national football team and is known in Nakuru for running the Youth Olympic centre that produced such as players as Ambrose Ayoyi and John Muiruri.
