Cheza Sports Foundation is incredibly proud to announce that Eric Naaman Balecho, one of our most promising academy graduates, has joined the ranks of Kenya Premier League giants, Tusker FC. This monumental achievement not only marks a significant leap in Eric’s football career but also serves as a historic moment for Cheza Sports Academy, as he becomes the first of our academy products to sign with a top-tier KPL team.
Eric’s journey from the nurturing grounds of Murang’a SEAL to the prestigious Tusker FC is nothing short of inspirational. His story is a powerful testament to his relentless dedication, exceptional talent, and the rigorous training he received at Cheza Sports Academy. For years, we have watched Eric hone his skills, pushing boundaries and exceeding expectations with every match. His talent on the pitch is undeniable, and his passion for the game is matched only by his discipline and work ethic off it.
Tusker FC, one of Kenya’s most successful football clubs with a rich history of producing top-tier talent, recognized these qualities in Eric and made the move to bring him into their fold. His transition from Murang’a SEAL, where he first made a name for himself, to Tusker FC is not only a personal triumph but also a shining example of the pathways Cheza Sports Academy is creating for young talent in Kenya. We are opening doors, breaking barriers, and ensuring that our players are equipped to compete at the highest levels of the game.
As Eric prepares to make his Premier League debut this weekend, we are filled with immense pride and anticipation. Seeing him don the iconic yellow and black colors of Tusker FC will be a moment of immense pride not just for Cheza Sports Academy, but for all who have supported his journey. It is a clear signal that Cheza Sports Academy is not just a stepping stone but a launchpad for young athletes with dreams of making it to the top.
We wish Eric all the best as he steps onto the Premier League stage, confident that he will not only meet the challenges ahead but exceed them. His journey is just beginning, and we do not doubt that he will continue to make us all proud. Keep an eye out for him in Tusker FC’s lineup this weekend – a new star is set to rise!
