Olympic Qualifiers: Football Kenya Federation considering withdrawing Harambee Starlets

The Federation says it has no money to foot the bills for the national team and if nothing is done the only option will be to pull out

The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) are contemplating withdrawing the Harambee Starlets from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games qualifiers owing to financial constraints.

The Starlets had eliminated Malawi and Ghana in the previous two qualifying rounds and are set to play Zambia in the third qualification round next week.

FKF president Nick Mwendwa, however, says the federation cannot foot the expenses for the national team to honour the two-legged fixture.
