Azam TV Expands Horizons: A Vibrant Day at Muhoroni Stadium.
In a journey that started a stone’s throw away from the quaint Kensington Hotel, the Murang’a Seal football team embarked on a scenic drive along the Kericho-Kapsuser Highway. The verdant tea plantations of Kericho County gave way to the sugarcane-draped landscapes of Kisumu County, painting a vivid picture of Kenya’s ‘sugar-rich’ heartland. Amidst this agrarian tapestry, sugarcane reigned supreme, making it clear that in Muhoroni, sweetness was the order of the day, with only whispers of the elusive commodity – milk. As the clock struck 2:13pm, the imposing gates of Muhoroni Stadium swung open, inviting players and spectators alike to a thrilling showdown. Eager fans, armed with their trusty smartphones, stood ready to capture every moment, while Azam Sports 3HD beamed the match live across the nation. Dholuo, the local dialect, resounded in the air, punctuated only by the stubborn strains of Swahili, courtesy of the Tanzanian broadcast crew. The warm-up session commenced at 3:17pm, preceded by meticulous player checks and verifications. Memories of past altercations on this hallowed ground lingered like whispers in the wind, yet Muhoroni Youth’s Chairman, Moses Adagala, observed the proceedings from the sidelines, an oasis of calm in the storm. In the stands, it was clear that women held sway, their presence a testament to the unifying power of the sport. Azam’s lenses captured the fervor, zooming wide to encapsulate every nuance of the event. Azam TV’s bold move to venture beyond Nairobi marked a pivotal moment for football enthusiasts nationwide. Muhoroni and Bungoma were the chosen battlegrounds for the inaugural live broadcasts. The clash between Muhoroni Youth and Murang’a Seal set the stage ablaze at Muhoroni Stadium, followed by a showdown at Sudi Stadium in Bungoma between Nzoia Sugar and the AFC Leopards. As the final whistle blew, Dickson Raila’s 15th-minute strike for the hosts echoed in the annals of Muhoroni Stadium, countered swiftly by Murang’a Seal’s Eric Balecho just ten minutes later. The spirited draw secured by Murang’a Seal propelled them to an impressive 14-point tally, a testament to their steadfast defense, having conceded a mere three goals. In the grander scheme, Azam TV’s foray into new territories is a beacon of hope for football fans far and wide. The challenge now lies in the hands of stadium custodians, urging them to elevate these arenas to the standards befitting live broadcasts. The journey to Muhoroni and back was more than a football match; it was a testament to the unifying power of the beautiful game.
