The Waziri Supercup is in full swing as we await the playoff matches of Kenya’s main amateur tournament.
The tournament is growing in popularity
“I thank God and 1xBet for making all of this possible. I thank the locals for the incredible support and the media for the coverage. I’m looking forward to the round of 16 matches,” says Salim Waziri, founder and organizer of the tournament:
The Waziri Supercup is growing rapidly. This year, 24 teams are taking part in the men’s football tournament, which is 8 more than in 2023. Progress in the level of play and popularity among fans were the main criteria for selecting the newcomers.
The 36 group stage games of the men’s tournament were played at 6 locations, and interest in the Waziri Supercup among fans and media grew significantly. This was also due to the participation of well-known football players: Victor Opondo (Kenya Commercial Bank), Hassan Beja and Ronald Sichenje (both play for A.F.C. Leopards in the Kenyan Premier League), and Collins Sichenje (Serbian Vojvodina).
Creative approach to the draw
An extraordinary event was the draw for the competition, which was held by a Member of Parliament and Secretary General of the Football Kenya Federation. He was assisted by representatives of the global betting company 1xBet, the official partner of the tournament. The draw for the 24 men’s teams and 8 women’s teams was carried out according to the aquarium principle: the teams chose their groups by lottery.
“This year’s draw was interesting and fair. It gave each team a chance to feel the excitement and responsibility to their fans,” Salim Waziri said.
The most interesting part is yet to come as 16 teams will play in the knockout stage of the Waziri Supercup 2024. At the same time, rugby, basketball and women’s football competitions will be held.
