Overview

This video details the financial performance of owning a 6th division Kenyan football club in October. It covers the expenses incurred for club upgrades and player welfare, the revenue generated from various sources like YouTube, TikTok, and merchandise, and the club's overall profit or loss for the month.

Key takeaways

• Significant Investment in Club Infrastructure: The owner invested heavily in essential items like new football boots for all players, a 75-inch 4K TV, a PlayStation 5 with controllers, and a custom-built couch for the clubhouse. Additionally, the basement was renovated to create a gym space.
• Improved Player Welfare and Nutrition: The meal plan for players was revamped to include more protein, with increased servings of chicken and eggs. Players are also assisting with cooking responsibilities.
