Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Football Kenya Federation have underscored the significant threats posed by match-fixers.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnscrupulous syndicates are consistently seeking ways to infiltrate our game and coerce players or officials into manipulating matches. We must remain vigilant against the dangers of match-fixing,\u201d said FKF integrity officer, Mike Kamure.<\/p>\n

He spoke at Kasarani Stadion Hotel during an Integrity Workshop for Premier League side Talanta FC team members.<\/p>\n

The workshop focused on the prevalent issue of match-fixing in football. The federation plans extensive match-fixing education across all Kenyan clubs and match officials as a measure to curb the vice.<\/p>\n

During his opening address, Kamure highlighted global instances where players and referees have been bribed to manipulate games, emphasising the substantial sums of money involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe allure of quick cash is often exploited by fixers, making it tempting for unsuspecting players. However, we must safeguard the ethical integrity of our beloved sport,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

The workshop delved deeply into the various techniques utilised by fixers to approach players, such as establishing friendships and exploiting players\u2019 financial needs.<\/p>\n

Guidance was provided to players on identifying warning signs of fixers\u2019 approaches and firmly resisting any advances.<\/p>\n

The team was sensitised on the strong reporting protocols available to them in the event they face match-fixing approaches.<\/p>\n

Recognising the impact of the workshop, Talanta FC\u2019s head coach, Ken Kenyatta, acknowledged that there was a sense of more awareness of how match-fixing jeopardizes the game and also how players are better equipped to reject fixers.<\/p>\n

He also went on to pledge to remain vigilant against any approaches directed at the team.<\/p>\n
