World Cup qualifiers: Harambee Stars ready to roar after avoiding sanctions – Omollo

Kenya international Johanna Omollo has revealed his excitement after Kenya avoided a possible Fifa sanction which could have seen them miss out on the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) were facing possible sanctions from the world governing body after they failed to pay former coach Adel Amrouche a fine of sh109million as ordered by a court in Zurich for wrongful dismissal.

The Court of Arbitration for Sports made their ruling, awarding Amrouche Kes108,194,863, in September 2019, and in December 2019, the FKF was again ordered to pay the Botswana head coach a further Kes1,181,511, which brought the amount to Kes109,376,374.
