Kenya's 'Football Grannies' Defy Age, Kick for Health | Resurgent Africa | N18G

As World Cup fever sweeps the globe, a remarkable movement is taking root in Makueni, Kenya, where the Maiani Soccer Grannies are redefining retirement. Ranging in age from 50 to 80, these determined women meet twice a week to train, socialise, and compete against rival grandmother squads. For members like 56-year-old Peninah Wambua, taking up football has proved life-altering, dramatically improving her high blood pressure and chronic body pain. Beyond the immense physical benefits, wellness experts highlight the critical mental health boost and stress relief that come with their consistent, active lifestyle. Despite tight resources and a constant struggle to secure proper fields, uniforms, and gear, the team relies on community support and personal contributions to keep their passion alive. They prove that staying healthy, building lasting friendships, and chasing a dream has absolutely no age limit. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
