What is next for Kenyan Soccer?

Indeed they say, "It is the most loved game in our country" and that it has been for a long time. May be due to time period Kenyan football is hated. Because if it were to be loved it would be a different story in this current year but that is still a doubt.

The sport is just talks and the heads are nothing but individual with no vision nor dreams for future of the sport. All they think of is their needs and wants of Human syndrome which is stated in Manslow's need theory.

Since its inception in 1960s, you can not make any defense of the sport, well may be the new infrastructure build by the Moi regime or the Kenyatta regime. This still was not built by any club. This is a shame on its own if you look at it and the same thing goes on and on every day and every season.

Kenya football should be now something of talk and pride. Kenyan players now should be celebrities on their own country and the newspaper should carry them every week and tabloid and paparazzi following them getting even in their personal life but guess something..., only non-Kenyan players feature on the papers and TVs in our country.

And where is this blame to be taken to? The clubs. A club like Gor Mahia and Tusker together with KCB should be widely known and acclaimed and its players should be well known all over East Africa.

But then again that seems impossible since club officials only think of filling their pockets and do not work hard to make their clubs viable for even a Kimbo
sponsorship.

The Kenyan football problem is because of the clubs. This trend is the one that has lead to the same desperation even on top at the KFF.

The fans will only support a legitimate and trustworthy entity. And for that to take place the club officials should work hard to ensure that. That should be the next thing for Kenyan football.
