Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa beliebes Kenyan football has entered a new chapter after the 1-1 draw against Uganda on Sunday.
The FKF boss was reacting to coach Francis Kimanzi’s decision to hand six debutants a start for Kenya as they recovered from a goal down to draw with their East African neighbours at Kasarani Stadium.
Emmanuel Okwi scored the first goal of the match to put Uganda ahead before Kenya fought to equalise in the early stages of the second half via Kenneth Muguna’s effort.
