Wazito Football Club is an association football club based in Nairobi, Kenya. It is owned by the alumni members of The University of Nairobi soccer team and currently competes in the Kenyan National Super League, the second tier of the Kenyan football league system.

History

Formation

Wazito Football Club was formed in 2011 by the University of Nairobi soccer team and the alumni members of the soccer team. The merger was initiated by current team patron Solomon Alubala who also doubles up as a player.The team has established a strong networking platform between students and the working professionals. Experienced players mentor the students on career paths and life experience. The network has created morally upright students who have got jobs upon graduation.

After training together with the students for some time the alumni members decided they could form one strong team to compete in the league. In order to build a team identity the 2011 season Wazito played in a lot of friendlies against the league sides and participated in tournaments.

2012

In 2012 Wazito debuted in the Nairobi County football league, the fifth tier of the Kenyan Football League system. It was a good start for Wazito and they managed to win the league and earn promotion to the Provincial league.

2013

The Nairobi Provincial league was the next hurdle for Wazito. It was another good campaign and a nervy end to the season where Wazito edged off Kangemi United on penalties to emerge as the Nairobi Provincial League winners. This meant back to back league titles for Wazito and promotion to the FKF Division one.

2014

FKF Division one was a notch higher as it involved a lot of travel across a number of Counties. However, with adequate preseason training and some new signings to beef up the squad it was another good campaign for Wazito. Wazito won the league convincingly and were crowned champions with two games to spare. The Kenyan National Super League was the next stop.
