Upcountry fans love KPL matches more than their city counterparts - Okoth

Sofapaka striker Ronald Okoth has praised upcountry fans for their love of Kenyan Premier League (KPL) matches.

Okoth's assessments come after most clubs have turned to their fans for financial support in the ongoing campaign following the exit of SportPesa as the league's title sponsor.

“KPL matches should be staged upcountry. There’s no single day I’ve gone to play away at Kericho Green Stadium, Awendo Stadium, Sudi Stadium, Chemelil or Muhoroni and fail to find a stadium full of largely passionate and respectful home fans who celebrate both sets of players equally,” Okoth wrote on his Facebook page.
