Kenyan football was once again the laughingstock of the world on Wednesday when Japanese player Yuto Kusaba was unveiled by Nairobi City Stars wearing a Borussia Dortmund kit.
Kusaba, a 25-year-old midfielder, had been announced as a new signing for City Stars just days earlier, but the club’s gaffe in unveiling him in the wrong kit has sparked widespread ridicule.
The incident has once again highlighted the problems facing Kenyan football. The league is plagued by corruption and mismanagement, and clubs often struggle to meet even the most basic standards.
This latest incident is a reminder that Kenyan football is a long way from the top, and that there is still much work to be done.
The incident has also drawn attention to the lack of professionalism in Kenyan football. The fact that a player could be unveiled in the wrong kit is a sign that the league is not taking itself seriously.
This is a problem that needs to be addressed if Kenyan football is to improve. The league needs to invest in infrastructure and training, and it needs to create a more professional environment.
Only then can Kenyan football hope to compete with the best in the world.
