Migori's Awendo run riot in Nyanza final

A 4-0 scoreline in a regional youth final usually tells you the story on its own, and Awendo Football Academy's demolition of Indomitable Soldiers in the Chapa Dimba Nyanza final on September 13, 2026 is exactly that kind of result, according to Capital Sports, one that turns heads well beyond Migori.

Awendo Football Academy did not sneak past Indomitable Soldiers of Siaya, they took the final apart, according to Capital Sports. A four-goal margin in a tournament built specifically to surface Kenya's next wave of talent is the kind of result that gets an academy's name passed around scouting circles long after the final whistle.

Chapa Dimba, backed by Safaricom, remains the country's biggest grassroots pathway competition, the sort of stage where a strong regional run can put a small-town academy on a national radar. Winning your region outright, and doing it 4-0 in the final, is about as loud a statement as a youth side can make before the national rounds even begin.

Why Migori is paying attention

Migori County has not always been the first name associated with Kenya's football conveyor belt, but a result like this changes that conversation locally. Awendo's academy setup now carries the regional crown into whatever comes next on the Chapa Dimba calendar, and that alone is enough to get local football fans talking about who exactly is coming through their ranks.

Indomitable Soldiers, for their part, made it to the final on merit before running into a side that simply had more that day. A 4-0 defeat at this stage stings, but reaching a regional final is still a marker of progress for a Siaya side that will look to go one step further next time out.

What's still unclear

Full details of the final, individual goalscorers, and the exact tournament structure beyond the regional stage were not laid out in the reporting available, and neither was the result from the Plateau Queens fixture reported alongside it. What is confirmed by Capital Sports is the scoreline and the significance: Awendo Football Academy are Nyanza regional champions, and Chapa Dimba's next stage will now decide how far that talent travels.
