Legit Status

Finally! The defining moment.... 

It's been years, to be precise, from 1996 to December of 2014, Baba Dogo United FC operated as an informal entity. February 24th of 2015, the Club claimed its legit status, having finalised all the requirements and is now registered by the Kenya Government Agency, "the registrar of societies and companies". 

The history is alive and has defined the authentic nature of BDUFC, as a leader in community sports programming, community football, talent and leadership development. During its informal set up, the Club managed not only to appear at the top of league standings every season, but managed to produce those who are currently playing in the top flight football league in Kenya, and five of the players have since earned caps with the Kenya National Soccer team. Some of the other notable success stories are the established executives, project managers, developmental facilitators, soccer coaches, entrepreneurs and socio-political leaders that the Club produced to date. The big question has always remained, "What greater impact could have been made and how many success stories we would be telling, if the Club was legit, and with formal systems and programmes in place?" 

BDUFC is now a legit entity in Kenya, and progressive systems, policies and programmes are in place, with a very dynamic team of executive leaders and technical personnel who are ensuring that outputs are realised, and outcomes and results are achieved.
