The battle for control of soccer fans from Western Kenya between AFC Leopards and Western Stima has started. AFC Leopards, who feel the power men have eaten into their support in the region since the Kakamega-based side was promoted to top flight soccer, have embarked on strategies to woe back their supporters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Leopards’ Facebook branch will be involved in a clean up exercise in Kakamega town ahead of their clash with Stima at Bukhungu Stadium on Sunday.On Saturday the branch will clean Kakamega town before staging a match between the Ingwe Fans and Boda Boda operators at Approved School grounds in Kakamega.<\/p>\n

“We want to show the Kakamega community that we still care about this town,” said branch secretary Samuel Enyinda. He said the branch with over 1, 000 members will also host Ingwe night at Club West Life on Saturday. “We are doing all this to create awareness in western region. We realised that the absence of the team in this region endeared our fans to Western Stima when it was promoted to Premiership,” he said.<\/p>\n

Leopards are to play most of their home matches at Mumias Sugar Sports Complex having signed a Sh 65 million sponsorship deal with the company for the next three years.<\/p>\n
