Aldrine Kibet: Kenya's Soccer Sensation Loses His 'Magical' Boots Ahead Of Final Clash With Uganda

• Gutted about the loss of his boots after the Kenya versus Tanzania U18 CECAFA clash, Aldrine Kibet took to social media to lament
• He said he had joined his teammates for celebrations at Kisumu's Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium when he left the wares at the technical bench area
• Kibet pleaded with the takers to return the boots before the Kenya - Uganda clash, suggesting to "sort them with something"

Kisumu - Kenya Junior Stars playmaker Aldrine Kibet could not trace his boots after the CECAFA clash his team had with Tanzania at the Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium.

Lost magical boots

Kibet shared his frustrations, asking those who made away with them to return even if it meant him settling them.

He implied the boots were dear to him.

"Yesterday's celebrations were great, but I lost my magical boots whoever picked them up at the technical bench to return I'll sort him," he said.

His mother, Valerie Chebet confirmed the same to this publication.

"He lost his boots when the fans stormed into the field to celebrate with them and obviously at this point, they cannot be found," she said.

Meanwhile, Kibet has had a magnificent run since the start of the Kenyan campaign in the regional games on November 25.

He made it to the scoresheet on the first day of the tournament.

Aldrine Kibet's first goal for Kenya

Kibet netted the third goal 33 minutes into the game, contributing to the haul with which the Kenyan team went to half-time against Sudan.

The game ended 5-0 to Kenya's northwestern neighbours; other goals were scored by Louise Ingavi (a brace), Tyrone Kariuki, and Elly Owande.

The 17-year-old also sourced the second goal by Kariuki through an assist.

This would be Kibet's first international duty ever since he came into the limelight with his magnificent run with the St. Anthony's Boys team during the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) ball games hosted in Kakamega in August this year.

He would then fly to Spain to join the Tarragona-based Nastic Soccer Academy (NSA) alongside Amos Wanjala and Alvin Kasavuli, his teammates at St Anthony's Boys and now in the under-18 Rising Stars national team.
