The Standard e-Paper
Kenya’s Boldest Voice
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
From 2004 Fifa suspension to the recent Chan scandal, Kenyan football has been a masterclass in institutional self-destruction. AFCON 2027 is 18 months away. The bill for two decades of failure is now due, and so is the plan to settle it.

Footballers produced in informal academies across 47 counties never had a system worthy of them. That is the core of Kenya's failure: not the players, but the pipeline.
