The second day of the FKF Premier League pre-season PET training saw 80 referees and assistant referees taken through football integrity, on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, by Head of FKF Integrity Mike Kamure.
Match-fixing is when a game is manipulated to produce a desired outcome, and the FKF Premier League referees and assistant referees were shown how to recognize instances of match-fixing, resist and report suspicious activities.
FIFA in conjunction with FKF has put up identification and reporting mechanisms for match-fixing such as the FIFA portal, the FKF Integrity Portal, and the FKF Integrity Hotline number +254 790115228, in the game, which they were guided through.
Earlier today, Gor Mahia was also taken through integrity classes, summing up the number of FKF Premier League clubs with integrity education to 9, that is, Bandari, Kariobangi Sharks, Tusker, Ulinzi, Posta Rangers, Kenya Police, KCB, and Sofapaka.
Football Kenya Federation conducts these sessions with the key stakeholders in football to create an awareness campaign against the worldwide vice that is match-fixing and how to help curb it and preserve football’s integrity.
