This situation highlights a broader issue facing many women’s sides that rushed into signing contracts with affiliate men’s sides without proper structures or plans in place.
Women’s National Super League zone A side Makolanders FC, the women’s team affiliated with KPL giants AFC Leopards, will be forced to forfeit their match against MTG United, scheduled for Sunday, November 10, 2024, in Mnarani, Kilifi. The decision comes after the team was unable to travel and honor the fixture due to financial constraints.
Makolanders, currently second in the league standings will have to provide a walkover, marking their first loss of the season.
This situation highlights a broader issue facing many women’s sides that rushed into signing contracts with affiliate men’s sides without proper structures or plans in place.
Makolanders for instance have yet to receive new season kits from AFC Leopards and have been playing in their own uniforms. A similar situation exists at Gor Mahia Queens. While the men’s team enjoy the luxury of newly designed kits by renowned fashion designer Sheria Ngowi, the women’s team are yet to see the new jerseys, let alone wear them.
