The Iron Ladies Soccer Club turned up the heat today with an intense two-and-a-half-hour training session, as they prepare to make their highly anticipated debut in the FKF Women National Super League (WNSL) next weekend. The spirited session saw the team push their limits under the watchful eyes of key club officials, igniting optimism and determination ahead of what promises to be a historic campaign.
Present at the training ground to rally the team were Club President Jeff Mudembei, Club Treasurer Cynthia Nyawade, Club Media Manager Kelly Mwao, and Technical Director Lemmy Easter. Their presence offered both moral and strategic support, as the squad fine-tuned their gameplay, tactics, and fitness levels.
“We’re not just here to participate — we’re here to compete” — Club President Jeff Mudembei
Addressing the team after training, Club President Jeff Mudembei expressed confidence in the squad’s potential and reiterated the club’s vision:
> “This is more than just a debut; it’s a statement. The Iron Ladies represent courage, discipline, and a new era for women’s football in this region. We’re not just here to participate — we’re here to compete, and every training session like this shows we’re on the right path.”
Solidarity Behind the Scenes
Club Treasurer Cynthia Nyawade emphasized the importance of unity and continued support for the players both on and off the pitch:
> “Behind every strong team is an even stronger structure. From the technical bench to the finance team, to our supporters — everyone has a role to play. Our players need to know that we’re fully behind them, and today’s turnout proves just that.”
Media & Morale: Building the Brand
Kelly Mwao, the Club’s Media Manager, highlighted the significance of building the club’s identity through storytelling and community engagement:
> “These girls are writing history with every kick of the ball. It’s our job to make sure the world sees their journey — their grit, their goals, their growth. The FKFWNSL is just the beginning.”
Technical Focus: Sharpness, Strategy, and Spirit
Technical Director Lemmy Easter, who led the session alongside the coaching team, noted the tactical improvements and growing team chemistry:
> “Today’s session was high-energy. We worked on shape, transitions, and mental focus. There’s still room to grow, but this team is showing serious potential. They’re hungry, and that’s exactly what we want to see before a debut.”
Leadership from Within: Captains Speak Out
Team Captain Faith, who anchored the defense drills during the session, shared her excitement and readiness:
> “It’s been a long journey getting here, but now it’s real. We’ve trained hard, and we’re ready to show what Iron Ladies football is all about. Every player knows what’s at stake — and we’re going for it.”
Vice-Captain Viola aka “Shosh” echoed her captain’s sentiments, emphasizing the team’s unity and drive:
