\nAfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Executive committee member for North Eastern Ahmedqadar \u2018Kador\u2019 Dabar has promised to revive football in the area that has long been marginalised.<\/p>\n

The former Motown FC player received the highest number of votes\u00a0during Saturday\u2019s elections\u00a0in what he termed a show of great confidence in his ability.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Dabar gannered 82 votes to defeat his opponent Mohammed Abdi Farah who got just three votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank the North Eastern football fraternity for bestowing me with this honour of representing them and more importantly through a popular mandate of voting me in nationally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will return the favour with sound leadership and representation,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cMy first agenda is the development of infrastructure through building the capacity of the technical wing of footballing the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed out the importance of helping referees gain knowledge about the rules of the game.<\/p>\n

Dabar regretted that North Eastern is endowed with talent, but lack of enough technical skills and manpower\u00a0which includes referees and coaches has affected the footballing standards in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeams from the region cannot compete against others from other areas because they have little knowledge of the rules of the game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

He said after empowering referees and coaches his next priority will be to train club officials on management.<\/p>\n

\u201cClubs as the main stakeholders will need sound management and that\u2019s why I will endeavour to have officials trained in order to manage their teams professionally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that he will seek for partnerships with the county governments, Members of Parliament and financiers to improve the playing fields to the required FIFA\/FKF standards and equipping teams with playing equipment.<\/p>\n

Former National Super League (NSL) side Northern Wanderers were forced to play their matches in Nairobi due to poor pitches in North Eastern.<\/p>\n

During his playing days, Kador finished twice as the top scorer in the Garissa provincial league while playing for Motown.<\/p>\n

He became the chairman of Motown in 2013.<\/p>\n

Under his watch, Motown FC have been crowned as the Garissa county league champions, North Eastern Maisha league winners and national Maisha league semi-finalists among other accolades.<\/p>\n

Despite being the chairman of Motown FC, his passion for football has not restricted him into only supporting the club he is leading but has extended support to other teams.<\/p>\n

He has been supporting teams from North Eastern participating in national tournaments which include Chapa Dimba and Maisha league.<\/p>\n

Even before assuming office at FKF House as a national executive, he had a vision of North Eastern region having a team play in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) something he says he can now pursue even with more vigour.<\/p>\n

\u201cClubs as the main stakeholders will need sound management and that\u2019s why I will endeavour to have officials trained in order to manage their teams professionally,\u201d \u00a0Dabar said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
