Leijona Esports have made their intentions clear for the new FC 27 season after bringing in three new players as they prepare to compete more seriously with Kenya’s established teams.
The team has signed Mohabi, Asad and Rama, adding fresh talent to a lineup that already includes some familiar names from the Kenyan gaming community.
And this feels different from a quiet roster adjustment. Leijona are positioning themselves for a bigger role in competitive FC 27.

The timing is also interesting because the Kenyan scene has entered a period of major movement, with players leaving teams, becoming free agents and looking for new homes before the new season properly gets going.
Leijona Esports Step Into the FC 27 Transfer Battle
Leijona have been around for some time, with Ronnie Jr, Kijana Wa Yesu and Bambina forming the core of the team.
Each brings a different connection to Kenya’s gaming community.
Ronnie Jr has built a major following through his presence on social media and in gaming circles. Kijana Wa Yesu is known as a competitor who has produced plenty of clutch performances over the years.

Bambina has also built a strong following, while combining competitive gaming with chess education and appearances in combat titles such as Tekken.
Mohabi Brings Experience From Kenya’s Biggest Teams
Of the three new arrivals, Mohabi immediately stands out because of the experience he already carries. He has previously played for Z Esports and Phoenix Esports, giving him time inside two recognized teams in the Kenyan FC scene.
That experience could prove useful as Leijona try to establish themselves among the country’s leading competitive teams.

There is also something important about the move itself. Mohabi is not starting his career from scratch. He already knows what it is like to compete inside a team environment, deal with expectations and play alongside established players.
Now he gets to bring that experience into a different setup. For Leijona, it is a signing that adds proven competitive experience to the squad.
Asad Represents the Next Wave
Asad arrives with a different kind of story.
The emerging player comes from Nakuru and is currently based in Nairobi, giving him a link to two important parts of the Kenyan gaming scene.
His signing also fits into a trend we have seen more often as the FC scene grows. Teams are not only looking for established stars. They are also looking for players who can develop into the next generation of top competitors.
For Asad, joining Leijona creates exactly that kind of opportunity. Instead of trying to make a name entirely on his own, he now enters a team setup surrounded by players with more experience in the scene.
Rama Completes the First Three Additions
Rama is the third player to join the new Leijona FC 27 project. While the team has not stopped at just one addition, the three signings already give a clear picture of what it is trying to build.
And there is still more to come.
Leijona are expected to make additional signing announcements soon, meaning this current group may not be the final version of the squad.
The Kenyan FC 27 Transfer Market Is Getting Busy
The Leijona moves come during a particularly active period for Kenyan FC players. The new game has arrived, and teams are already reshaping their squads. Some players have left established teams. Others are now free agents and looking for their next opportunity.
That has created a competitive market where one team’s departure can quickly become another team’s signing.
The situation involving several recent free-agent moves has also made the new season more unpredictable. Players who spent FC 26 representing established teams can now turn up in completely different colours in FC 27.
Why This Leijona Esports Move Matters
Leijona’s expansion comes at an important moment for Kenyan esports. FC 27 is still in its early days, but the transfer activity has already started.
Teams are making moves. Players are changing sides. Free agents are getting opportunities. And new squads are trying to break into the established order.
That gives Leijona a chance to become one of the teams people immediately associate with the new FC 27 era.
The first three names are now confirmed. More announcements are expected. And that means their final lineup could look very different from the team that entered the transfer period.
