Harambee Stars: FKF still too broke to face Egypt and Togo – Nick Mwendwa

The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has admitted they do not have money to take the Harambee Stars to next week’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Egypt.

Speaking before the Sports, Arts and Culture Committee, FKF president Nick Mwendwa said they have not received any response from the government in regards to a request for funding.

“Today is [Tuesday] yet we have not received any word from the Ministry regarding the travelling of our team. We need to send tickets to our foreign-based players like Michael Olunga and Victor Wanyama who only travel business class and bringing them home is costly if done late," he told the committee.
