Nairobi: February 14, 2025 – Tusker FC midfielder Chrispine Erambo has been named Tusker FC Player of the Month for February 2025 following an outstanding series of performances in the past month.
The award, determined by votes from fellow players, recognizes the most consistent and impactful player for Tusker FC over a given period and gets to walk home with a personalized trophy and a shopping voucher worth Ksh 50,000.
