‘Please allow football to resume!’ – Kefwa boss Situma pleads with Kenyan government

Kenya Footballers Welfare Association (Kefwa) have sent a passionate plea to the Ministry of Sports to allow football activities to resume in the country.

The statement by Kefwa comes just two days after the government's Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed extended the ban on contact sports, including football, until further notice.

In a statement issued on Friday, Mohamed confirmed only non-contact sport will be allowed to resume after months of suspension owing to the effects caused by the coronavirus pandemic, but in a phased manner.
