Although I didn t see it coming, I d taken to the pitch in the belief I had the potential to put my name on the score sheet. Coach Mulee made me believe it was possible before the match, Hassan told I m forever grateful to God for affording me the opportunity to feature for the national team and more so getting a rare chance in life to score against a big team like Egypt. I was overwhelmed with joy after scoring that goal. It was my first goal in such a high-profile match.
Hassan, who has seen rumours around his future swirl, detailed how his career started to the point he became a Kenyan Premier League player.

Black History Month: The battle for Nairobi

It’s the biggest match in Nairobi, but its presence as a derby is felt well beyond the city’s 9.3 million people. It brings Kenya to a full stop, and is one of the fiercest rivalries in all of Africa. The tension so thick you can cut with a knife is always present when Gor Mahia FC and AFC Leopards take the field in the Mashemeji Derby.
The two clubs that represent Kenya’s capital city first took the field against each other in May 1968. AFC Leopards, who began in 1964, is known as Ingwe (The Leopards) and was born out of the combination of a couple local teams into Abaluhya Football Club. Born in 1968, Gor Mahia FC was named after a legendary medicineman, Gor Wuod Ogada nyakwar Ogalo, whose nickname was Gor Mahia (“Magic Son”). The team came together when Luo Union FC and Luo Stars FC merged together. They’re known colloquially as K’Ogalo, which means “House of Ogalo.”
Hopeful Muiruri hopes to enjoy good moments with the former Kenyan Premier League champions.
“I am so delighted to join such a big club, I feel honoured and I only want to help the club achieve big. It feels great to don the blue and white jersey of the club and I look forward to a successful stint at
Batoto Ba Mungu.”
