Bandi has come back from adversity to captain AFC Leopards for a majority of games this season.
AFC Leopards defender Lewis Bandi has expressed his pride in leading the team this season under coach Fred Ambani, following their hard-fought 0-0 draw against Gor Mahia at the Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The highly anticipated Mashemeji Derby, played in front of a sold-out crowd, marked the 35th draw between the two rivals. While the contest lived up to expectations in intensity and atmosphere, it ultimately lacked the decisive goal.
Speaking after the match, Bandi—who has established himself as a key figure in the squad after recovering from a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury—acknowledged the trust placed in him by his coach and teammates.

Mohammed Bajaber continues from where he left off with Harambee Stars as he fires Kenya Police to vital league win
Mohammed Bajaber proved that he is not all hype when he tormented Posta Rangers before firing Kenya Police to a crucial league victory on Sunday.
“This season has been fantastic. I feel privileged, and I want to thank the coach for giving me the chance and the opportunity to serve as the on-field captain, especially in such a big game,” Bandi said.
Reflecting on the electric atmosphere generated by the fans, Bandi highlighted its positive impact on the team, particularly the younger players, as they continue their push for the league title—a feat Leopards have not achieved since 1998.
“They were able to showcase their talents because the game was well balanced. I want to thank the fans for turning up in large numbers because they got to see the quality these boys possess,” he noted.

5 Kenya-Eligible Footballers Who Played for Another Country
Over the years, many notable players have been eligible to play for Kenya's Harambee Stars and other nations as well, with some opting for the latter.
“I got an opportunity to even stand a chance to represent my country, and that is great motivation for me,” Bandi said.
Bandi’s journey to captaining AFC Leopards has been one of perseverance and dedication. Born and raised in Hamza, Makadara, he developed his skills in the Makadara Junior League before featuring for local clubs like Hakati FC and Jericho All Stars.
His talent earned him a place in AFC Leopards’ youth team, and by 2020, he had broken into the senior squad, making his debut against KCB FC.
His versatility—being able to play as a left-back, right-back, or midfielder—has made him an indispensable part of the team, and now, as captain, he hopes to guide Ingwe back to glory.
