Kenyan pioneer female professional football star shines in Germany

Meet Doreen Nabwire , She is better known as Kenya’s first professional female football star and the first woman to play in an international league. But in 2013, Doreen Nabwire was a football ambassador in Germany. As a guest of DJK Sportverband, a youth sports association in Cologne, she worked to assist the organization to prepare one of the largest German youth football tournaments. This engagement is a clear indication of the impact that this young Kenyan has made on the German soccer scene. “I feel like the generation before me that had such good players and my generation have been wasted, but we have great potential in the generation coming after us, and it is saddening that they will get wasted if things do not change”. Doreen

Well done!
