Fifa Covid-19 relief fund to pay FKF's debt on Amrouche salaries instead of Kenyan players

Fifa will use the Covid-19 relief funds meant for Kenya to settle the debt owed to former Harambee Stars coach Adel Amrouche.

The world football organizing body had promised member associations $1 million to help players and teams after the pandemic paralyzed footballing activities for the better part of the 2019/20 season.

While other players and clubs in some countries enjoyed the relief from Fifa, it was not the same case in Kenya.
