Your Pride Is Our Pride: Celta Vigo’s Special Message to Aldrine Kibet

Spanish football club RC Celta de Vigo has sent a congratulatory message to Kenya following the national Under-23 team’s impressive 2-1 victory over Côte d’Ivoire in Nairobi.

The Spanish side was particularly pleased with the performance of Kenyan youngster Aldrine Kibet, who featured in the starting lineup during the 2027 Africa U23 Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match.

In a message shared after the encounter, Celta Vigo celebrated Kenya’s achievement while expressing pride in seeing Kibet represent his country on home soil.

The club described the occasion as a special moment for the young midfielder, who has continued to attract attention through his football development in Spain.

Celta Vigo also used the opportunity to recognise the growing influence of African footballers and the importance of supporting young talents as they pursue their professional careers.

“At Celta, we love seeing African talent grow, chase dreams and carry the pride of a whole nation,” the club stated in its congratulatory message.

The Spanish club further extended its appreciation to Kenyan supporters, saying the country’s happiness and pride were equally important to the team.

“From Vigo to Nairobi, much love! Kenya iko na Celta. Celta iko na Kenya. TUKO PAMOJA, DAIMA!” the club added.

Celta Vigo’s message is another encouraging moment for Kibet, whose progress in European football has attracted interest among Kenyan football supporters.

His involvement in the national team is also an important step as Kenya continues its preparations for the 2027 AFCON competition.

The 2-1 victory over Côte d’Ivoire gives the young Kenyan side an encouraging result and provides a boost as they seek to progress through the qualifying campaign.

For Kenyan supporters, seeing one of their own represent the country while receiving recognition from his European club made the occasion even more special.

Celta Vigo’s message has also shown the growing relationship between the club and its Kenyan football family, with the Spanish side making it clear that it is proud to share in the country’s football journey.
