Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has unveiled gaming firm Odibets as the Harambee Stars official betting partner ahead of three friendly matches as well as AFCON qualifiers.
The Jacob Ghost Mulee led side will be playing South Sudan and Tanzania in friendly matches before taking on Egypt in Nairobi on March 22 and away to Togo.
FKF President Nick Mwendwa said he hopes the friendly matches would be enough to prepare the team effectively for the task ahead. “By the time we are playing Egypt, our players will have featured in three matches.”
He said he is happy that he has a technical bench comprising all local tacticians. “I’m happy that I have a Kenyan driven bench and I pray for their success,” said Mwendwa.
Coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee promised Kenyans better results this time round, saying the team’s last engagement came at a time the squad was full of rusty players given the local league had been halted due to the outbreak of Covid-19.
“It’s the second time Odibet is coming to support us. Last time, they chipped in but we didn’t return the desired results. We promise to make amends in our next assignments,” said Mulee.
“The last time we played Comoros and lost our league was not on. At least our league is now on and our players have had enough exposure from their matches. I believe the three friendly matches will sharpen them even better,” added Mulee.
