The announcement by world football governing body, Fifa, that it is setting aside close to Sh60 million to promote youth football in the country is good news for talented youth.
That sports activities in the country are in dire need of funding cannot be gainsaid. What has for a long time been lacking is sound management of such initiatives by sports federations, what with recent battle for control of the local Fifa Goal Project by Football Kenya Limited (FKL) and Kenya Football Federation (KFF) at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
