AgeWatch Africa Foundation is hosting a workshop aimed at empowering retired footballers.

The event which has brought together former legendary footballers from Nyanza and Western regions is being held at Jumuia Hotel in Kisumu.

Dubbed “Beyond the Game Workshop”  the workshop seeks to equip retired footballers with tools and knowledge to overcome the challenges of post – retirement life.

The event is focusing on providing practical solutions to emotional, mental and financial hurdles often faced by retired players.

Through collaborations with experts and stakeholders, the workshop aims to foster long-term support systems for these sports icons.

The workshop will include interactive sessions on personal finance management, entrepreneurship, mental health care and community leadership, tailored to meet the unique needs of retired athletes.

Additionally, it will serve as a platform for networking, collaboration and resource-sharing among former players and industry stakeholders.

The foundation is committed to supporting aging populations across Kenya, with a particular focus on athletes who often face unique challenges after their careers.

This initiative is part of the foundation’s broader mission to enable individuals to live with dignity and purpose.

The developments come after the foundation held its first workshop in Nairobi on 18th December last year.

The event was graced by legendary footballers like Bobby Ogola and key officials from Kenya Football Welfares Association (KEFWA)
