In Kibera, Nairobi, women over 60 are lacing up their boots, kicking the ball and showing that age is no barrier to staying active.

After a day of work, the women-founded Mugumoini team meets on the pitch to exercise, laugh and strengthen their friendships. Football gives them a chance to stay fit, relax and stay connected to their community.

For these women, football is more than a game. It is a way to stay active, healthy and connected, proving that you are never too old to play.
