It is double tragedy for Afc and gor mahia as FKF slaps them with a 10 Million fine.
The two oldest clubs in Kenya on Saturday failed to turn out for a league match in a protest aimed at FKF for failing to remit the winning money for the shield cup.
Below is a press release to that effect.
RE: FKF PREMIER LEAGUE MATCH #260– AFC LEOPARDS vs GOR MAHIA
The FKF Leagues and Competitions Committee has imposed sanctions on FKF Premier League
Clubs, AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia for failure to honor the FKF Premier League match no. 260,
which had been scheduled to be played on Saturday, July 31, 2021, at the Thika Stadium.
AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia have both been fined Ksh 6 million and Ksh 4 million respectively
and sanctioned in accordance with article 3.1.6 of the rules and regulations governing Kenyan
football, which states;
3.1.6. In the event that a team or both teams in a scheduled fixture fails to turn up or turn(s)
up for the match but refuse(s) to play, either team or both shall be docked three (3) points
and two (2) goals from those already accumulated or those to be accumulated. Additional
sanctions may be imposed on the team(s)
The FKF National Executive committee has also provisionally suspended both AFC Leopards and
Gor Mahia chairmen Dan Shikanda and Ambrose Rachier respectively, for bringing the game of
football into disrepute, pending the hearing and determination of the matter, by the FKF
Disciplinary Committee.
The federation remains committed to safeguarding the integrity of its competitions and the rights
of all its members and commercial partners.
Signed,
Barry Otieno
General Secretary/CEO
