A young Cheza talent turns heads after a standout season and earns a place in Kayole Starlets’ 2026/27 squad
Fourteen-year-old Nayoma Adianca is proving that age is no barrier when talent meets opportunity, discipline and the right development environment.
The talented Cheza SHe Unit player has enjoyed a remarkable season, playing an important role as the girls finished third runners-up in the FKF Nairobi County Women’s League. Nayoma made her presence felt throughout the campaign, contributing a number of important goals and consistently demonstrating her technical ability, confidence and attacking instincts.
Her performances did not go unnoticed.
Nayoma was subsequently shortlisted for the Nairobi Women’s Under-15 Select Team, another significant recognition of her growing potential and a testament to the quality of her performances during the season.
A Bigger Opportunity Beckons
In an even more exciting development, Cheza Sports Academy is delighted to announce that Nayoma has been selected to be part of Kayole Starlets’ 2026–2027 Kenya Women’s Premier League squad.
At just 14 years old, Nayoma’s inclusion represents a remarkable milestone in her young football journey. Competing within the senior women’s football environment at such an early age provides her with an opportunity to learn, adapt and develop alongside experienced players.
It is also a powerful demonstration of what can happen when young girls are given access to structured training, competitive football, mentorship and genuine pathways to higher levels of the game.
The Cheza SHe Unit Pathway in Action
Nayoma’s journey embodies the vision behind the Cheza SHe Unit — to create a safe and supportive environment where girls can develop not only as footballers, but also as confident young women.
From grassroots football to county-level competition, selection opportunities and now the Kenya Women’s Premier League environment, her progression demonstrates the importance of creating clear pathways for girls in football.
Her story is particularly significant because opportunities for young girls to transition into senior women’s football at such an early age remain relatively rare.
More Than a Football Story
For Cheza Sports Academy, Nayoma’s achievement is about more than goals, selections and league appearances. It represents possibility.
It tells the young girls training at Cheza that their dreams are valid. It tells parents that investing in girls’ sport can open meaningful pathways. And it reinforces our belief that talent development requires patience, quality coaching, competitive exposure, safeguarding and opportunities to progress.
Nayoma’s journey is only beginning.
As she takes this next step with Kayole Starlets, the entire Cheza Sports family celebrates her achievement while reminding her that the journey ahead will require humility, discipline, hard work, education and continuous learning.
Congratulations, Nayoma!
From the Cheza SHe Unit to the FKF Nairobi County Women’s League, from the Nairobi U15 Select Team shortlist to the 2026–2027 Kenya Women’s Premier League squad — Nayoma Adianca is showing what is possible when girls are given a chance to play, develop and dream.
Keep rising, Nayoma. The journey has only just begun.
