List of Players in Nzoia Sugar F.C, Position, Age, and Salaries

Nzoia Sugar F.C Players; Nzoia sugar can be categorized as one of the oldest teams in Kenya’s football history. The club has been in existence for over three decades, having been founded in 1982.  Currently, it competes in the Kenya Premier League, Kenya’s top-tier league.

For a football team to be fully equipped, players are the main ingredient of any team, and their passion, commitment, and persistence also serves as the ingredient to bring in energetic and die-hard fans. This has been the case with our Nzoia Sugar boys, they have been pushing harder despite the challenges they have been facing.

The Bungoma based-team has been productive in securing points as they haven’t faced the wrath of relegation since they were promoted to the top league. In 2003, they were lucky to compete in the CAF Champion League. However, the boys weren’t lucky enough as they were eliminated in the first round.

For the past few seasons, the team has been fighting relegation and it seems securing a league title isn’t part of their plan. The last time they lifted a trophy was in 2006 when they won the National Super League Cup.
