Cohort snapshot · 2020–present
Wider, Younger, Cheaper
More Kenyans are moving, earlier, to a broader spread of leagues, and individual fees are lower than the last decade's peak. That is what a market with volume and no development infrastructure looks like: plenty of interest, little leverage.
Volume without a pathway sells cheap. Academies and graded competition are what raise the price.
