Football Kenya Federation (FKFL has set its focus to host 2019 FIFA under 20 and under 17 World Cup after CAF stripped off the 2018 Africa nations Championships (CHAN) hosting rights.
While addressing journalists in Nairobi on Monday, FKF chairman Nick Mwendwa said Caf has agreed to support Kenya bid for 2019 Fifa Under-20 or Under -17 World Cup competitions.
“As we speak now, Caf could not take the risk of Kenya political state to strip us Chan 2018 cancellation,” said Mwendwa.
Accompanied by Sports Principal Secretary Richard Kaberia said the renovations and construction on the stadia would continue despite Saturday’s move by the continental football body.
The African football chiefs however expressed great concern with the security situation in the country with regards to the Supreme Court’s decision to annul the August 8 Presidential elections and the uncertainty surrounding the repeat poll, as well as the slow pace of construction in the four stadia earmarked to host the tournament.
