OPINION: Kenya must invest in youth and grassroots football to become a regular World Cup and AFCON side. This is why
If Harambee Stars is to qualify for its first ever World Cup and always go far at the AFCON, this is why it must invest in youth and grassroots football.
Gor Mahia’s tendency to be at loggerheads over contractual disputes with former employees is not new.
In July, Gor Mahia were kicked out of the 2023/2024 Champions League campaign for an issue not too dissimilar to Miheso’s, as one of their other former players Sando Yangayay took the club to CAF citing unpaid wages.
Jules Ulimwengu and goalkeeper Adama Keita were the other players who had claimed Gor Mahia had failed to honor their dues on time.
In 2021, Ugandan Shafik Batambuze, Dickson Ambundo of Tanzania and coach Steven Polack took the matter to Fifa and the Kenyan heavyweights were banned from bringing in new faces until they fully settled the trio financially.
But K'Ogalo went on to sign players before clearing with the players and Fifa, and the new arrivals featured in the Super Cup against Tusker FC.
This resulted in Football Kenya Federation (FKF) being ordered to pay 6 million after they cleared the signings of new players without getting approval from the world football governing body.
