African administrators lagging behind and have a lot to do - Ex-Harambee Star Opiyo

Former Kenya international midfielder Peter Opiyo has claimed African football administrators are lagging behind compared to their European and Asian competition on matters relating infrastructure.

Opiyo has played for Finish clubs SJK, FF Jaro, Jakobstads BK, where he was on loan, Al-Markhiya of Qatar and Altyn Asyr of Turkmenistan before he signed for Nairobi City Stars in 2020.

“Football in Europe is very different compared to Asia and Africa. Europe is far much ahead, and the quality of the game is really high. Most teams play a very fast passing game and the infrastructure is top-notch,” Opiyo told Nation Sports.
