While their fellow promoted side are busy engaging with top-tier teams in friendly matches in anticipation for the upcoming Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) season, Fortune Sacco are yet to engage in any high-level test match.Perhaps, the uncertainty surrounding the top-tier has contributed to this being the case but other teams set to play in the same division are all top gear with their preparations, more so in terms of high-profile friendly matches.Despite reports indicating that the Kirinyaga-based side is yet to intensify their training, the management has countered that and said that everything is in place as it should be.##NAJAVA_MECA_6643412##According to the team Secretary Julius Kariuki, the main challenge has been logistical issues, with teams bailing out on them at the last minute every time they have lined up friendlies.”The team is averagely prepared for the league so far.

I had my plan for pre-season all detailed out but we have managed to achieve very little of that,” he added.
