Kenya Police FC will remain in Rwanda for the next ten days for pre-season after their friendly match against Rayon Sports that was scheduled for Saturday was called off at the last minute.The law enforcers traveled to Rwanda to take on the Rwandese giants but a last-minute intervention by the Rwandese federation, FERWAFA resulted in the cancelation of the match. With Kenya suspended by FIFA, the world football’s governing body members are not supposed to come into ‘sporting contact’ with FKF or its teams, and had the friendly gone on, it would have contravened the same and resulted in sanctions.##NAJAVA_MECA_6596477##Despite the disappointment, Police will remain in Rwanda to progress with their pre-season. CEO Chris Oguso says they had planned to camp in Rwanda for ten days and not alter their plans in the wake of the unfortunate turn of events.”We had planned to do our pre-season in Rwanda for 10 days. We will be here until the days are over,” he told the Nation.He further clarified that they had to call off the match as referees who had been assigned the game could not get a clearance from the Rwandese federation.”We had scheduled to play a friendly match against Rayon Sports of Rwanda National League but it won’t be played as earlier communicated. As we all know, Kenya is under a Fifa suspension and we have to adhere to that until everything is solved. Fifa referees that were to officiate the game have to get permission from the federation and they could not because Kenya is under suspension,” he added.Rayon Sports vs Kenya Police FC friendly match called off by Rwanda federation, FERWAFA.FIFA warned its members against playing Kenyan teams during the suspension period.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/ZrjbXwxEpa— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) August 27, 2022 The football administrator wants the push and pulls being witnessed in Kenyan football brought to an end as it is ‘killing’ Kenyan football.”The fans had paid to watch the game but unfortunately they will not go to the stadium.
