fifa orders kenyan club relegation for match fixing

The Football Kenya Federation FKF confirmed on Friday the relegation of a Kenyan club, Muhoroni Youth, after world governing body FIFA found the second-tier team guilty of match manipulation.

It is the latest scandal to hit the sport in the east African country, long plagued by match-fixing.

In a decision published on Friday, FIFA found Muhoroni Youth guilty of activities related to the manipulation of football matches and competitions.

It expelled the clubs senior team from the FKFs second-tier National Super League and ordered their relegation to the third-tier Division One League ahead of next season.

The FKF said it fully supports FIFAs decision and reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on match-fixing and all forms of manipulation that threaten the integrity of the game.
