Mwendwa: Kenyan football faces a bleak future without betting sponsors

Football Kenya Federation President Nick Mwendwa believes they are facing a huge crisis following the government’s decision to crack down on betting firms.

As it stands, the federation will lose up to Sh600million in sponsorship if the government keeps its threat and kicks out some of the leading betting firms in the on-going standoff.

“We are looking at a huge loss translating to about Sh.600m. Without the betting firms, Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards clubs will have no sponsor, Harambee Stars will suffer and our shield tournament will be non-existent,” Mwendwa told reporters.
