Will Kenya be banned by Fifa for failing to pay Amrouche?

The clock is ticking towards the April 24 deadline set by Fifa for the Football Kenya Federation to pay former Harambee Stars coach Adel Amrouche Sh.109million.

The money was awarded to Amrouche by the Court of Arbitration for Sports and should have been paid two months ago.

However, Fifa’s Disciplinary Committee has given FKF a further 30 days to pay the money or risk harsh disciplinary action.
