The people who are celebrating the ban are not directly involved in football,”“The coaches, players and referees nobody is for the FIFA ban because when the ban comes our referees are not going to officiate internationally and we have produced top referees in recent years, the players also won’t turn professional because it’s only the federation who issue transfer certificates, our coaches will also just participate locally,” said Zico.The disbandment of FKF came after an inspection audit was conducted with the finding revealing irregularities which led to the arrest of Nick Mwendwa who was accused of fraudulent acquisition of Public Property and failure to comply with laws or applicable procedures and guidelines.CS @AMB_A_Mohammed says govt decisions on football management intact after holding meeting with FIFA Secretary General Samoure. pic.twitter.com/DPGfOtQxWv— CapitalFM Breaking News (@BreakingNewsKE) November 17, 2021 Zico added that Gor Mahia and Tusker who are in the CAF Confederation Cup Playoffs risk being bundled out of the tournament.“Look at clubs like Gor Mahia and Tusker who are already participating in continental tournaments and there with the looming ban they won’t continue participating,”“The CS should make a wise decision just like King Solomon did when dealing with the two women,” added the former Gor Mahia assistant head coach.
