Ole Teya, widely known as Kevin Teya, has emerged as one of the most consistent and well-sourced voices in Kenyan football journalism by focusing almost exclusively on the domestic game.
At a time when most sports coverage in Kenya leans heavily toward European football, Teya built his reputation by covering local leagues, transfers, and club operations.
His work has positioned him as a reliable source of breaking news, particularly on player movements and internal club developments.
Early Life and Education
Kevin Teya was born in the early 1990s in Western Kenya, a region known for its deep football culture and strong grassroots structures.
While details of his early schooling remain largely undocumented, his upbringing in this environment played a key role in shaping his interest in the sport.

He later joined Kenyatta University, where he studied Information Science between 2010 and 2014, gaining skills in research, information management and communication.
He is currently pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the same university, further strengthening his background in management and strategy.
Ole Teya’s Career
Teya began his career in 2014 as a sports journalist at Futaa.com, where he spent four years writing and editing daily football content.
The role gave him his first grounding in newsroom discipline, including accuracy, consistency, and understanding the football audience.
In 2018, he moved into freelance work, contributing to Kwesé, where he reported on breaking sports news across teams, players, and competitions.
He briefly worked as a sports sub-editor at Opera News between 2019 and 2020, focusing on digital content production, including match reports, previews, and news updates.
In July 2019, Teya moved into club football, joining Wazito FC as Head of Communications and Marketing. He held the position until October 2022.
The role placed him directly inside a Kenyan Premier League club, where he handled communication strategy, branding, and media relations.
It also gave him access to internal processes, including player negotiations, transfers, and management decisions.

This experience shaped his understanding of football beyond reporting.
It gave him insight into how clubs operate, how deals are structured, and how information flows within the game.
In May 2021, Teya joined Mozzart as a sports writer, a role he continues to hold.
Here, he focused more deliberately on Kenyan football, particularly transfers and club developments.
He built his niche by closely tracking player movements across leagues, consistently reporting on coaching changes and major club decisions, and maintaining direct contact with players, agents, and officials to verify information before publishing.
His reporting style is direct and fact-driven, and over time, he became known for breaking transfer news quickly and accurately.
This consistency has earned him the trust of fans, who increasingly rely on his updates ahead of traditional media.
