Wanyama on Amrouche: A shame for Kenya to miss 'dream' World Cup qualifiers

Kenya captain Victor Wanyama has pleaded with the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to make sure the country competes in the World Cup qualifying matches.

The Harambee Stars are facing expulsion from the competition after they failed to meet the deadline as ordered by world governing body Fifa to pay former head coach Adel Amrouche a sum of Sh109million, for alleged wrongful dismissal from his job as coach, following a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport last October.

The federation was given until April 23 to pay the fine or face Fifa sanctions, which could include disqualification from the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, where they are pooled in Group E alongside Uganda, Mali, and Rwanda.
