Action-starved Wazito demand to be included in premier league fixtures

Wazito FC quietly moved to the Sports Dispute Tribunal, SDT do demand that they be included in the 2022-23 Football Kenya Federation Premier League FKFPL fixtures from effective round five.Since the new season begun four weeks ago, the fate of the former big spenders, alongside Mathare United and Vihiga Bullets have been in limbo owing a tough legal battle over relegations and promotions at the SDT.Having successfully secured their top-flight status last season by winning the FKFPL relegation/promotion playoff, Wazito, now based in Kisumu, feel they shouldn’t be in the cold.##NAJAVA_MECA_6890677##The fact that the recent SDT ruling reversed the decision of the FKF National Executive Committee, FKF-NEC to scrap the FKFPL 2021-22 season has also emboldened them.”Either way, we deserve to be included in the fixtures, we won the playoffs, so even if the season was scrapped or not, we’re still safe and deserve to play,” a Wazito FC administrator, anonymously told Mozzart Sport.However, Mozzart Sport understands that the club was prevailed upon by the FKF to withdraw the case.In the ruling, the SDT determined that the reinstated FKF-NEC was in office illegally as the Cabinet Secretary for Sports Ababu Namwamba acted ultra vires in putting them back into office.##EDITORS_CHOICE##With the decision yet to be appealed, Kenyan football remains in uncertainty, despite the fact that league action still continues.”It’s already Thursday and we know that it is impossible to include us in the weekend fixtures, but at least we look forward to being back by midweek next week.””If we don’t start playing now then we’re going to be disadvantaged as catching up is going to be very tough.”FKFPL Week 5 FixturesKakamega Homeboyz vs FC Talanta AFC Leopards vs Posta RangersNzoia Sugar vs Nairobi City Stars     Kariobangi Sharks vs Gor Mahia     Ulinzi Stars vs SofapakaBidco United vs KCB
