Mathare United understand, appreciate cautious sports resumption approach - Ali

Mathare United head coach Salim Ali has stated they understand the cautious steps that were taken by the government in regard to football return.

While non-contact sports have been allowed to resume after seven months of suspension, football, among other contact disciplines, will wait until a further directive.

Fans, club and coaches were all looking forward to Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed to give permission for the return of all sport but the Friday announcement means they have to hold on for longer, a move the Kenyan coach says they are supporting.
