• Charles Okwemba, AFC Leopards legend, advises the team on the importance of early planning and a strong start to the league for championship contention.
• Okwemba underscores the need for continuity within the playing unit and strategic player enhancements, contrasting with Gor Mahia’s consistent success.

AFC Leopards icon Charles Okwemba has lent his seasoned perspective to the team, urging them to adopt a strategy of meticulous early planning and a vigorous start to the upcoming league season if they aspire to clinch the championship. 

Despite the perennial promise of contention at the onset of each campaign, Ingwe’s elusive title pursuit has endured for over two decades. 

Okwemba underscores the imperative for a tactical overhaul as the linchpin of their bid for the title.

“Leopards have grappled with numerous challenges; for a team to vie effectively, stability, a robust season commencement, and a well-crafted plan are prerequisites for championship success. A strong start invariably augments any team’s prospects,” remarked the soft-spoken Okwemba.

Continuity within the club’s playing roster emerges as another pivotal factor highlighted by Okwemba. 

He stresses the significance of retaining a cohesive unit to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance.

“…the loss of key players significantly undermines the team, irrespective of the mitigation strategies employed. Consider Gor Mahia—they sustain a consistent lineup season after season, a stark contrast to our recurrent player turnover,” he observed.

Okwemba advocates for a nuanced approach to team reinforcement, cautioning against wholesale squad overhauls. 

Drawing a sharp contrast with perennial league champions Gor Mahia, he accentuates the importance of strategic player enhancements aimed at fortifying the squad rather than radical transformations.

As the season unfolds, Leopards find themselves placed sixth with 44 points, trailing leaders Gor Mahia by a substantial 19-point margin with only five matches remaining. 

Their aspirations for silverware hinge on the upcoming FKF Cup semi-final clash against Kenya Police FC slated for May 24.

Victory in this pivotal fixture would propel them to the final showdown against the winner of the KCB versus Kariobangi Sharks encounter. 

This represents their sole opportunity for honours this season and a potential avenue to rekindle their participation in continental football, notably the CAF Confederations Cup, for the first time since 2018.
