NAIROBI – Sportpesa Premier League side Nairobi United have bolstered their squad with two high-profile signings as the club eyes a strong league campaign and continued success on both domestic and continental fronts.
At the heart of the Naibois’ recruitment drive is central defender Steve Biko Omollo, who arrives from Kariobangi Sharks. Known for his commanding presence, aerial strength and leadership at the back, Biko is set to shore up Nairobi United’s defence as they push for a top-of-the-table finish in the SportPesa League.
Biko brings a wealth of top-flight experience and a strong winning mentality after three seasons at the highest level in Kenyan football and a stint with the Green Commandos. Biko arrives with a reputation for rock-solid defending and exceptional leadership.
A former standout for the Green Commandos, Biko brings three seasons of top-flight experience to the “Naibois.” His commanding presence is expected to be a cornerstone of the defensive line as the team pushes for a top-table finish.
The arrival of Biko and Titus signifies Nairobi United’s ambition to compete at the highest level.
Biko provides the leadership we need at the back, while Titus brings a proven creative edge that will unlock defenses.
Joining him is the exciting Ugandan international from NEC FC in the Uganda Premier League Titus Ssematimba.
Ssematimba is an attacking midfielder who has represented Uganda at various age-group levels and was named Player of the Tournament at the 2022 CECAFA U-20 Championship in Sudan, where his creative spark and technical quality stood out.
Ssematimba is a highly decorated talent who has represented the Ugandan National team at various levels. He notably earned the “Player of the Tournament” award during the 2022 CECAFA U-20 Championship in Sudan, marking him as one of the region’s most exciting creative prospects.
Nairobi United’s ambitions go beyond domestic competitions. As the 2025 Mozzart Bet Cup champions, they earned a historic berth in the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup group stage — the club’s first ever appearance at this level and a major milestone for Kenyan football.
Nairobi United is placed in Group B alongside DR Congo’s AS Maniema Union, Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca, and Tanzanian side Azam FC.
A highlight of their continental calendar comes on Sunday, January 25, 2026, when Nairobi United host Azam FC in Nairobi in a crucial group stage fixture.
This match represents another opportunity for local fans to witness high-level African club action on home soil and is pivotal to the Naibois’ quest for progression in the competition.
With a strengthened squad and continental football on the horizon, Nairobi United find themselves balancing domestic ambitions with a historic CAF campaign.
Their goal remains clear: challenge for honours in the SportPesa League and make a significant impact in Africa, building on their Mozzart Bet Cup triumph and setting the stage for sustained success.
NAIROBI UNITED: ONE CITY. ONE DREAM. ONE CHAMPION.
