Celebrating the win, Wajir All stars head coach noted “Today's game against the hosts, Lyon 04 FC, was relatively easier compared to yesterday's match against Marina FC from Mandera. Despite my players being fatigued, they remained composed and capitalized on the rare chances we got to secure the victory.”
Wajir Queens were also crowned the champions in the girls’ category after a walkover due to a lack of opponents at the regional level. Both teams took home Ksh 250,000, Neon Ultra Phones and secured slots to represent the North Eastern region at the national finals
