How to get Tennis facilities in Nairobi. Join Nairobi Club

The national team has been poorly ranked by fifa and the level of football in the country is diminishing each and every day. As compared to many other countries, Kenya is facing a lot of hardships in trying to get better ways of improving football and the following are some of the methods that have been proven to be effective.

Provision of better training facilities

Kenya needs to invent better ways such as providing players with a lot of facilities that can be used to enhance their training hence coming up with good results. It has been noted that countries that perform well often have better training grounds for their players giving more room to equip the players with a lot of skills on their part. It is important that funds be allocated to the sports department to improve football in the country.

Proper motivation

Players will often perform well when they get good motivation from their country s well as their coach. The country should go for coaches that have good skills and that can talk well with players without condemning them and making them feel as being punished for mistakes committed in the field. It is therefore important that better ways of encouraging players be invented to make them like the sport more.

Promotion

It is the dream of every young player to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world. The country needs to make such dreams come true by helping many young talents join the clubs hence promoting the name of the country and making football to be a lucrative venture for many people.

Having More Friendly matches

The only way of ensuring that the performance of players improves is by having them take more friendly matches with players from other countries so that they can improve the level of competition and further borrow more skills form them.

Gor Mahia is one of the football clubs in Kenya that participate in the Kenya premier league. It is among the oldest clubs in the history of football in Kenya and it has been successful in recent times having won the KPL Top 8 in 2012. It was founded on 17th February 1968.They have won the Kenya premier league twelve times, one less  than their rival-A.F.C Leopards who have won it thirteen times.

They are the favorites club to win this season’s league cup after having consistent performance throughout the season. They are in the first position with fifty (50) points, followed by Sofa Paka F.C who are in the second position with 43 points, then followed by A.F.C Leopards with 41 points who are third. They only need four points from the remaining five matches to be crowned the champions after 18 years. If will be awarded the three points they played against Sony sugar, it will be indeed their time to claim the championship because they will only require  two points from the remaining matches before they can be declared the champions.

The form of the K’Ogalo has been consistent especially after beating Thika United, Mathare United and Chemelil sugar. They last lost to the Tusker F.C by one goal and they gone to keep clear sheet since that lose. They have been kept on toes by their coach Bobby Williamson who has ensured better performance from his player. Their striker Dan Sserunkuma is the current league top scorer with seven goals and his form has greatly contributed to the form of the club. The fans of the K’Ogalo allover the country have hope that their club will win the league and they have placed their faith to the players.

The current squad of Gor Mahia include Goalkeepers Jerim Onyango, Ivo Mapunda, and Joel Batan. Defenders- David Otieno, Donald Mosoti, Israel Emuge, Musa Muhammed, Ivan Anguyo, Ronald Okoth and Solomon Nasio. Midfielders- Chris Wekesa, Joseph Njuguna, Anthony Akumu, Innocent Mutiso, Anthony Gathu, Moses Odhiambo, Eric Ochieng and Kelvin Odhimbo.  Strikers- Edwin Lavatsa, Dan Sserunkuma, Raphael Kiongera, Rama Salim, Paul Odhiambo, and Patrick Oboya.

The above mentioned players are the ones who are keeping the club at top form and all eyes are on them to check if they can win the league after a long time. Their remaining fixtures are against Sofa paka, Home boys, KCB, and Ulinzi Stars which have been viewed as the difficult fixtures they have ahead of them keeping in mind that they only need four points. It is the wish of the club to equalize the record of A.F.C Leopard who currently has 13 league cups.

The Gor Mahia are currently waiting for the vandict about controversial match between them and Sony Sugar which has been postponed until next week 24th, Thursday 2013.

 

Sports in Kenya usually comprise of athletics, volleyball, netball, boxing, tennis and football. Football in Kenya has been on the media limelight in Kenya mainly because of the performance of the Kenya national team, Harambee Stars in soccer. The shortcoming of Harambee Stars in Kenya has resulted in many Kenyans believing that Kenya cannot be able to compete in Africa and the rest of the world when it comes to football. This has been attributed by poor performance of Kenya in national matches especially in qualifications of the African cup of nation (CAF) and the world cup. Most attribute this failure to lack of support of Kenya football by the government of Kenya.

The other team that is facing the same problem is Kenya volleyball national team (women) which regardless of performing extremely well in Africa and the rest of the world, the government of Kenya still shows no support. They have won the cup in four consecutive years as the champions of Africa. Despite their best performance and recognition in Africa and the rest of the world, the government of Kenya has not made any attempt to support the national team. This can really contribute to the loss of Kenya talented players who may see that the government of Kenya does not recognize and appreciate their importance to the nation.

If we would analyze Kenya national football team (Harambee Stars), there are many factors that have contributed to decline in its performance in Kenya. Currently, it is positioned at position 128 in the football world ranking. We have seen how the government of Kenya has failed to support our national team through the ministry of sports and youth affairs in Kenya. Without financial support, there is no organization in Kenya that can carry on with their operations. It has been the lack of full funding from the government of Kenya that has contributed to failure to thrive for Kenya national team.

The condition of denial of allowances and delays in their salaries has demoralized Kenya players until they cannot dedicate their talents for the benefit of our country anymore. In most occasions, we have heard the likes of Mariga and Oliech in Kenya complaining that they have not been paid their allowances, and at times they are forced to use their money to pay their tickets whenever we have football international matches. The government of Kenya sometimes award athletes in occasions they win medals. The Football Kenya Limited (FKL) has failed to cooperate with the Kenya national team coach in incorporating young talented youths who can make an impact in the Kenyan team. We have 47 counties in Kenya, and if we can make an attempt of visiting each of them, we cannot miss young Kenyans talented in football who can carry Kenya to the next level in sports.

The Harambee Stars have lacked exposure to other parts of the world in terms football because there have been few international friendly matches and there is one is usually against an African country. Our Kenyan team needs to face countries such as Spain, Brazil, Netherlands and many others that are performing extremely well in football so that we can emulate their styles and improve on our own. Issue of firing Kenyan coach each time our team performs poorly is not a good idea. A coach should be given time to build on the team on a long term bases so that he can learn on the strength and weakness of each player in the Kenya team so as to build on them.

It is about time the government of Kenya valued the national team; Harambee Stars because they represent us beyond Kenya. The ministry of sports in Kenya should begin to support the team by fully financing it and improving on the stadiums in Kenya so that our players can feel appreciated since this boost their morale hence improving our team.
