The Vision of Talanta Hela.
Kenya is shaping a new era in football with the cabinet secretary of sports emphasizing the need for coaches to scout for emerging talents all over from the grassroots level. Talanta Hela teams both boys and girls have been given better training in Spain as they were engaged in tournaments and friendly matches at Nastic Training Grounds.
The Nastic team had started scouting for talents in the country in 2023 and they have assured Talanta Hela officials of continuing to partner with them in the years to come.
The girls will be given a chance to visit China in August after the second term ends. because China has produced better women footballers in recent years, this will be a move to strengthen them and later be given priority in Harambee Starlets.
Talanta Hela will not only target the talents within the country but also the Kenyans in the diaspora. This move will also target players of Kenyan origin to be infused into the national team in different sporting areas.
