Naivasha was once a footballing power house with the regions teams, bankrolled by the ubiquitous flower farms, calling the shots.

A case in point is Oserian FC, later known as Oserian Fastac that won the Kenyan Premier League, back-to-back, in 2001 and 2002 , representing the country in contintental football with association.

The squad, at the time, boasted gifted players who, at their prime, were a joy to watch, pulling in spectators by their thousands to their stadium in Naivasha before financial struggles in the flower sector led to the folding up of the famous club following the withdrawal of their main sponsors.
