Hussein drums up for change in Kenya football management

He wants the country to think about having adequate infrastructure and strategic thinking to help attract sponsors and fans on the local football terrain.

•He urged local football enthusiasts to stop leaving everything to the government.

Murang'a Seal vice-chairman Hussein Mohammed says local football clubs have suffered heavy financial losses due to endless corruption.

"The local football season is coming to a close, the Kenyan Premier League ended last weekend, the Women's Super League ends in two weeks and most other leagues in and around this period," Hussein remarked.

"The sad truth is that a majority of teams, even in the Premier League, will finish the season at a huge financial loss. Clubs in other leagues will probably do a lot worse," he added.

Hussein claimed it had become untenable for the country to attract and retain sponsors, owing to poor management of the game

"This is not their fault, sponsors have deserted our football because of poor management," Hussein remarked. "

"When football administrators are getting wealthier and clubs are suffering, the game dies slowly," he added.

He wants the country to think about having adequate infrastructure and strategic thinking to help attract sponsors and fans on the local football terrain.

"I believe Premier League teams can make at least Sh50 million profit in a season," Hussein stated.

He added: "However, this requires strategic thinking, working on infrastructure to attract and retain fans and effecting the systemic change required to show sponsors that the game is worth investing in," he added.

He urged local football enthusiasts to stop leaving everything to the government.

"Some say infrastructure is the work of the government and wash their hands, but that's not productive thinking. This is our game. It is a game of partnership, a game of teamwork and a game of leadership," Hussein remarked.

He said: "The end of the season is a reminder of how much more leadership the industry needs. That is the only thing that will allow clubs and players to prosper and truly raise our game."

He congratulated Gor Mahia for winning the Kenyan Premier League.
