Former Arsenal players are set to visit Crawford International School’s Tatu City campus on Saturday, November 14, where they will take part in a football clinic involving students.
The visit will come a day after the former footballers face a team of former Harambee Stars players in a match at Nyayo Stadium on Friday, November 13.
At the school, the former Arsenal stars are expected to participate in training sessions with learners, giving them an opportunity to interact with players who have competed at the highest level of football.
The clinic will involve practical football activities, with students expected to receive guidance on skills, teamwork and the demands of professional sport.

Crawford International School Executive Principal Amanda Birkenstock said the visit was intended to expose learners to people with experience in different fields and give them opportunities to explore their interests beyond academic work.
"The idea and actualisation of bringing former Arsenal players to engage directly with our learners is an example of the kind of enriching experience we believe every young person should have access to as they explore their potential and prepare for the future," she told TUKO.co.ke.
She noted that bringing the former players to the campus would allow students to engage directly with accomplished sports personalities and learn from their experiences.
Lloyd Musara, who is representing the visiting former Arsenal players, also highlighted the value of sport in shaping young people.
The engagement is expected to go beyond football drills, with the players sharing personal experiences about their careers and the challenges they encountered along the way.
For students, the clinic will provide an opportunity to train alongside former professional footballers rather than simply watch them compete on television.
In other news, a Kenyan Manchester United supporter sparked online debate after suggesting she could switch allegiance to Arsenal amid her club’s poor run of form.
The woman said she would make the move if someone bought her an Arsenal jersey and gave her a new nickname.
However, Arsenal fans were not convinced.
