Just a few years ago, Waziri 1xCup was a local initiative — a few teams, the organizers’ enthusiasm and a dream to give young athletes a chance. Today, it’s one of the most anticipated tournaments in Kenya, bringing together dozens of communities every year, creating new success stories and supporting entire families.
In 2025, Waziri 1xCup promises to be the biggest in its history, with new opportunities for teams, the expansion of women’s football and even more powerful social initiatives. The title partner of the competition, the 1xBet brand, doesn’t just support sports — it invests in the future.
“We want this tournament to become a symbol that sports can be a tool for equal opportunities, unity and hope for the whole country,” Elena Zhdanova, spokesperson for 1xBet, commented.
“I remember the first tournament — a few teams, enthusiasm and dreams. Today, Waziri 1xCup has dozens of teams, including women’s teams, strong support, and real change in communities. For young players, it’s an opportunity; for all of us, it’s the language that our hearts speak,” tournament organizer Salim Waziri stated.
Not just sports, but community transformation
The tournament organizers and partners emphasize that sports are only part of the bigger picture. For several years now, Waziri 1xCup has been implementing initiatives that change lives for the better.
Two years ago, tournament participants opened a car wash, and last year, a nail salon and a grocery store. Charity projects are constantly being implemented: wheelchairs and hygiene kits are donated, and needy families are provided with food.
One of the former participants recalls:
“Waziri 1xCup changed my life. When I joined the tournament, I had no idea it would open up new opportunities for me. Thanks to the support of the organizers and partners, I got the chance to make my dream come true — to open my grocery store. This tournament gave me confidence in myself. Today, my business is thriving, and I can support my family and help people in my community. Waziri 1xCup gives a chance for a better life to everyone ready to take action.”
In 2025, this work will only intensify. As a symbol of support and respect for the players, this season, not only uniforms but also boots are being made for all men’s and women’s teams, so that every footballer has everything they need to play on equal terms.
Women’s teams: a new level
For the second year in a row, women’s teams are participating in the tournament. They’ve already received new kits and sports shoes and are ready to fight for victory.
“With Waziri 1xCup, I feel that my efforts are important, and my dreams are achievable. This tournament inspires not only us girls, but also the younger generation, who can see that women’s sports have a future,” a member of a women’s team said.
“Waziri 1xCup shows that sports are for everyone. We’re especially proud that girls participate in the tournament on equal terms with boys, receive equipment and support. Their dreams are important, and we’re here to help them come true,” Elena Zhdanova, spokesperson for 1xBet, added.
Waziri 1xCup 2025 is a platform for change, an opportunity for youth, a space for women’s leadership, and support for entire communities.
This year, the tournament will be even bigger, with more opportunities, new stories, expanded player support, and life-changing social projects.
