Formerly Wazito FC, decided to change their name in July after FKF gave them greenlight to do so. The club argued that sponsorship approach was a challenge citing the name Wazito had become a baggage.
According to club CEO Collince Dave; “It was evident that we were going to change names. Muhoroni Youth has been our brand since the club was formed in 2011,”
“The name had become a problem. We have been engaging sponsors but they are not familiar and comfortable with the name Wazito FC. We had to change because we have big plans for the team,” he said.
