The stadia management agency has advised the Nakuru County Government on what they need to include at the facility to meet international standards.
The culmination of Amwayi's dedication and determination arrived in the FKF Cup final in a victory that secured Kakamega Homeboyz's spot in the CAF Confederation Cup, a moment that will forever define Amwayi's journey.
In a tense showdown against Tusker FC, Amwayi's skills shone through as he netted the solitary goal that secured victory.
The memory of that match, the electric energy of the crowd, and the sheer intensity of the game have become an indelible part of Amwayi's football narrative.
"The FKF Cup final against Tusker holds an unforgettable place in my heart. The memory of that match and the goal I scored is etched into my very being. The emotions, the crowd's energy, and the intensity of the game will forever be a cherished part of my journey in football,” he reflects.
However, Amwayi's journey hasn't been without its share of challenges. A hiatus from the game in 2020, following his departure from Ulinzi Stars, marked a significant chapter in his life.
While the specifics of his struggles during this period remain private, Amwayi's return to the pitch with Kakamega Homeboyz was marked by resilience and a renewed sense of purpose.

"My family plays a pivotal role in motivating me to excel in football. Their unwavering support keeps me focused on my career," he articulates, encapsulating his determination to look forward.
