Harambee Starlets: Sports Fund releases Sh3.8m to FKF

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has received Sh3.8million from the government just a day after they threatened to withdraw the women’s national team Harambee Starlets from Olympic Qualifiers.

The FKF president Nick Mwendwa went public and attacked Sports PS Ambassador Peter Kaberia for frustrating the national teams, especially the women’s one, who are two steps away from reaching the Olympic finals to be held in Tokyo.

“We have received Sh3.8 million from the Sports Fund,” Mwendwa told Goal on Wednesday.

“The money was approved more than two months ago and is part of the Sh16million budget we had submitted in June for our home and away fixture against Tanzania in the 2020 Chan qualifier.
