Ligi Ndogo Soccer Club (pronounced [liɡi ˈndoːɡo] or [liɡi ˈndɔːɡo] ; also known as The Planets or simply Ligi) is a football club and youth academy based in Nairobi, Kenya. The senior team currently competes in the National Super League, the second tier of the Kenyan football league system. The club's name is Swahili for "little league".
