Chris Isiaiah Ongondo Amimo (born 12 October 1972) is the co-founder and chair of Kenyan soccer farm Ligi Ndogo S.C. Academy as well as the tournament director for the age-grade and nationwide youth tournament Chapa Dimba.[1]

He also serves as the executive committee member, and as the chair of both the youth and finance committees with the Football Kenya Federation.[2]

Early life and education

Amimo was born in Kakamega County on 12 October 1972. He attended All Saints Kindergarten before proceeding to City Primary School. For his secondary education, he attended Lenana School between 1987 and 1990. He then moved to the University of Nairobi and attained a Bachelor of Commerce degree (Marketing Option).

While at Lenana, he largely played rugby alongside football which was considered a lesser sport at the establishment. In Varsity he concentrated on rugby and turned out for the resident side Mean Machine RFC, and went on to feature for Mwamba RFC at club level.[3]

Career

After college he initiated and managed corporate sporting events, including 3-on-3 junior basketball challenge in 1996 and 1997 under the banner of Sports Promotions. It later morphed to Spriteball series that ran across East Africa from the year 1998 to 2000. In 2002 he co-founded Ligi Ndogo S.C. Academy alongside Karani Nyamu as a baseline for developing and nurturing youth talent.[4]

Amimo has overseen the running of age grade tournaments including the East Africa Cup from 2004,[5][6] Sakata Ball from 2010 to 2012, and Chapa Dimba from 2017[7] as the tournament director across all.

In 2016 he was elected as FKF Nairobi National Executive Committee Member.[8] After his four-year tenure,[9] he was retained as an executive member after being co-opted on a four-year cycle, from October 2020.
