Uphold the Soccer Discipline-Fans


It is a disappointment and embarrassment to the mature and respect worthy soccer fans in Kenya!?The humiliating and degrading conflict that arose at the Nyayo stadium after the Gor versus FC Leopards derby  illustrated a degree of the lawlessness and hooliganism in the soccer sector which calls for a recheck on the soccer governing rules.

It’s a shame since there is a constitutionally enshrined right to peaceful demonstration, if we must march to be heard.Such an incident should not have been witnessed in Kenya.Lets be presentable in expressing our grievances.

I can confirm, it is in the same week , the world soccer governing body (FIFA) had slapped Kenya with a one million fine and a directive to slash fan base in Nyayo stadium to a paltry sixteen thousand from the optimal thirty eight thousand. Amazingly, that decree was not followed,may be with the hope that, the soccer enthusiasts will behave.

As much as, such menace by the fans  is greatly condemned,it should also serve as a wake up call to the Kenyan authorities to be in the forefront in instilling discipline and order in this sport..
