BOARD OF MANAGEMENT Chairlady’s Word One of the first things that we did in September 2018, was to address the dismal performance of the club and in which we set out our vision for the Club in the 2018-2019 season; a vision which was to celebrate and respect FC Talanta’s rich heritage whilst focusing on building a bright future. We had a clear sense of the elements required to deliver a sustainable and successful organization on-and-off-the pitch, and sought a strategy through which that vision could be realized. At this point, Coach Abdallah and his team do not know what success is to come; nor can they anticipate the teammates and facilities with whom and in which they will play and train, and the changes which are to be made at the Club and in the wider community Most of the developments visible today are the result of a carefully crafted strategy – one in which organic evolution has also been allowed to thrive – and I have come to be as proud of many of those evolutionary elements of the plan. We have been able to transplant our playing style, our approach to youth development, our commercial know-how and, significantly, our Club in the Community DNA to far flung reaches of the football world. We have 30 players in FC Talanta playing and training in the beautiful football model and positively contributing to the development of football. Importantly we have also developed programs which stretches to all counties, empowering young people through football. As a result of that partnership, the economic and The 2018-19 season will go down in history because environmental outcomes from developments of the last of the incredible football we are witnessing, and we are 5 years will be generational and we as a Club should be filled with an extraordinary sense of pride in the hard incredibly proud of the improved educational, health and work of Juma Abdallah, the players, and the staff who sporting opportunities we have created in our community. work tirelessly to support them. Our aim is obviously Whilst more than 30 young male players train and play to build on the achievements of the last year, and we in world-class facilities and emerging homegrown young know that it takes a tremendous combination of factors talent begin to make their mark.

The foreseeable incredible season, we will always strive for past years has also seen the voices of our fans helping to more. Our journey is not complete and we have more significantly shape our development. targets to fulfil. There should be no doubt that we are Less overt, but hopefully equally obviously, we have looking forward to the challenges of this new season remained true to our promise to “ensure that FC Talanta and those beyond it with equal commitment and loses none of its role in beyond football” and “continue[s] determination to the eight seasons that came before. to contribute to the community it represents.”The quarter These milestones, to which we look forward and will be under review having played 23 games the team has scored honored to mark, serve as a useful reminder that we are 38 points and 27 goals, breaking long-standing club and all stewards of a club that has existed through multiple league records as they go. lifetimes and we must all remain as committed as ever to ensuring that it continues to grow and evolve for multiple generations of future fans to enjoy 4 | FC TALANTA FIRST QUARTER REPORT JANUARY - MARCH 2019

Director, Talent and Capacity Building’s WORD FC Talanta endeavours to extend their unrivalled role in talent development which is one of pillars of the department at the Kenya Academy of Sports (KAS).

The exercise was also extended to the Korogocho based academy ACAKORO where three players have since been empowered by playing football as a full time job at Talanta. Even as we take pride in the success of identifying and nurturing grass-root based raw talent,we are elated to have on our player summoned for the National Under 23 team,Emerging Stars for the 2020 Olympic qualifiers.

INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS To actualize program delivery and efficiency, the following institutional reforms have been improved Communication The management has improved in the production of Quarterly reports to be shared by the Publicity sponsors and stakeholders. Weekly update will be provided to the sponsor and the board. The management has managed to publicize Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) effectively, 80% of our league matches have been highlighted in local newspapers including and not limited to The Standard, The Star and People Daily. Out of the 22 NSL matches played 16 matches have been beamed/streamed live on Bamba Sports across all their platforms. The club also managed to procure 4 banners, 2 for the sponsor and 2 for the club, to be used during broadcasted and non-broadcasted matches. ANY OTHER INFORMATION RELEVANT FOR THE AUTHORITY In the year of 2018, the club made notable strides, Shortly after our sponsor Communications Authority cushioned the delay in payments, the team produced massive six wins in the ten matches played in the specified period to see them enter the top ten bracket. We managed to pick three draws and lost once in the ten matches played.The impetus the team generated from the runners up finish in the KECOSO games held in August deserved a pat on the back as we produced back to back wins courtesy of the experience of playing top flight sides at the knockout stages of the tournament. Although we narrowly lost 4-3 to Posta Rangers in the finals, we picked vital lessons which proved helpful upon resumption of the league matches. NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE CLUB during the ongoing 2018-2019 season the club has made several notable achievements which include; • finishing at position 6 at the end of the quarter under review • An active social media page (facebook) with over 2,500 followers • A young team with an average age of 22 years. It is important to note that the club should review its remuneration policies to match other clubs and to be able to retain the best players to ensure better performance.

CONCLUSION The results achieved during the specified period were linked to motivation in the playing unit. FC Talanta values the financial and technical support received thus far from Communication Authority of Kenya. Through proper recruitment of gifted footballers, we undertake to continually train and develop a disciplined crop of young talented footballers. The strategic plan developed for the club has informed and formed a basis of the management and growth of the club. It is our prayer that our reacquisition for renewal of sponsorship and additional funding will meet your consideration for the boys to achieve positive results on the pitch as well cater for their lives and their dependents. 14 | FC TALANTA FIRST QUARTER REPORT JANUARY - MARCH 2019
