Cleophas Malala is a young, vibrant Kenyan politician. He is known for being a go getter and a political broker in the Republic of Kenya.
The former Kakamega County Senator is also the Deputy Party leader of the Democracy For Citizens Party, led by former Deputy President Hon Rigathi Gachagua.
Excitement is reaching fever pitch across Western Kenya with just one day remaining before the official launch of the Cleo Malalah Super Cup 2026.
Former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malalah has announced that all preparations are complete for what is billed as the largest grassroots football extravaganza in the country.
Expanding its regional footprint, the 2026 edition brings together hundreds of local clubs from five counties: Bungoma, Kakamega, Busia, Vihiga, and Trans Nzoia. By uniting the traditional Mulembe nation with neighboring Trans Nzoia, the tournament aims to foster regional cohesion while providing a massive competitive platform for emerging talent.
Over the years, the Cleo Malalah Super Cup has evolved from a localized Kakamega competition into a premier sporting fixture that attracts top football scouts, local leaders, and thousands of passionate fans.
For young footballers across the five participating counties, the tournament represents a rare opportunity to showcase their skills on a grand stage, earn lucrative prize money, and potentially secure professional contracts with top-tier clubs in the Kenyan Premier League and beyond.
Beyond the action on the pitch, the event is expected to inject significant economic life into local communities. Small-scale traders, transport operators, and hospitality businesses across the host venues are gearing up for a major boost as crowds gather to cheer on their home teams throughout the festive tournament period.
With jerseys distributed, pitches marked, and match officials briefed, the stage is fully set for tomorrow’s grand kickoff. Fans across Bungoma, Kakamega, Busia, Vihiga, and Trans Nzoia are ready to turn out in large numbers as the quest for regional football supremacy officially begins.
