Soccer hooliganism has no place in modern Kenya

Once a preserve of European teams, especially in England and Italy where football hooliganism was a serious problem, the unfortunate trend has found its way into our country as evidenced by the increasing number of incidents of unruly behaviour among soccer fans.

Early this month, a match between Sofapaka football club and AFC Leopards turned chaotic after the latter's fans invaded the pitch, forcing cancellation of the match when AFC was two goals down.
