No Time for Celebrations Yet – Nairobi United’s Muyoti Eyes FKF Cup Glory With Steely Focus

NAIROBI, Kenya – June 4, 2025
With Nairobi United riding high on one of their most impressive domestic campaigns in recent years, head coach Nicholas Muyoti is keeping his squad grounded and laser-focused. As excitement brews among fans, Muyoti has made it clear: “There’s no room for premature celebrations.”

Despite guiding the club to a historic FKF Cup semi-final berth, the former international midfielder insists the mission is far from complete.

“We haven’t achieved anything yet. Our full concentration is on the task ahead, and that task is Gor Mahia,” Muyoti said in a press briefing on Tuesday.

A Showdown With Giants

Nairobi United is set to lock horns with Kenya Premier League heavyweights Gor Mahia in a blockbuster semi-final clash that could define their season. Gor, with their record-setting pedigree and fierce reputation, represent arguably the toughest test Muyoti’s men will face in their cup journey.

But the Nairobi United gaffer is unfazed. He believes his side—disciplined, cohesive, and hungry—has the tools to shock their decorated opponents.

“Gor Mahia is a big name, no doubt. But football is played on the pitch, not on paper,” Muyoti remarked. “We respect them, but we don’t fear them. We’re preparing with intensity and purpose.”

Momentum Meets Motivation

Nairobi United’s cup run has been nothing short of remarkable, marked by smart tactics, defensive solidity, and attacking flair. Their spirited performances have won admiration across the league, and there’s growing belief that this could be the year the underdogs write their own chapter in FKF Cup history.

For Muyoti, however, the key lies in staying humble and maintaining a single-minded focus.

“We’ll take it one game at a time. Our target is clear—reach the final, then go for the title. But first, we must earn it.”

A Shot at Silverware—and History

Victory in the semi-final would not only secure a place in the FKF Cup final but could also open the door for continental football, depending on the tournament’s final outcome.

As Nairobi United sharpens its blades for the clash with Gor Mahia, one thing is clear: under Muyoti’s leadership, this is a team that’s dreaming big—but staying grounded.
