Benson Omala may need to head back to Kenya following the Lebanese Football Association’s (LFA) indefinite suspension of all football matches.This decision comes amid rising violence, as Israel targets Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, prompting Hezbollah to retaliate against Israeli military facilities.##NAJAVA_MECA_6305##Recently signed by SAFA SC from Gor Mahia, Omala’s transfer drew concern due to the worsening security situation in Lebanon. He had stated that he sought extensive advice before finalizing the deal, which was reportedly brokered by a member of the Harambee Stars technical staff.Last week, he faced difficulties regarding the transfer after he threatened not to return to Lebanon until financial issues with the club were resolved. Fortunately, those matters have since been addressed, allowing him to return.Recent reports indicate that airstrikes have killed at least 558 people, including 50 children, and injured 1,835 others, forcing thousands to flee amid fears of an impending full-scale war.In response to the turmoil, the LFA announced, “Due to the current situation in the country, the executive committee has decided to postpone all tournament matches until a new date is determined.”The Lebanese Premier League had just kicked off its 2024-25 season, while the national team has not played a home match since last year, opting to host World Cup qualifiers in Qatar and the UAE.Meanwhile, recent conflicts have compelled the Palestinian national team to play its home matches abroad, and Israel has moved its Nations League games to Hungary.Omala was the top scorer in the FKF Premier League last season earning a move to the war-torn nation.BREAKING: Shabana FC slapped with heavy sanctions after fans’ trouble
