The Kenyan footballing season has come to an end and it in deed offered some very spectacular moments. The title race went down to the wire with the winners being decided on the last day of the season. Though Ulinzi got the bragging rights for the season by winning the title, Gor mahia fans were the engine that drove the enthusiasm of the premier league. Even though Gor mahia finished in second position, they really deserve praise for helping draw fans back to the stadiums. The league would have been even more spectacular if AFC leopards had joined the foray. However, the club has been embroiled in mismanagement of late and only managed a mid league standing. The two clubs in deed are the most closely followed. They are the country’s oldest clubs and they generate passion from the fans. They are also community clubs and hence fans have more allegiance to them. This is in contrast to the company clubs are a little more than CSR activities of the companies and hence can be done away should the company not have enough money to sustain them. Some corporate clubs have found themselves in financial troubles after their sponsors withdrew their budgets. This has even led to relegation of some due to mass exodus of star players.

Now that the fans are trooping back to the stadiums, the soccer authorities in the country should do more to improve the soccer situation in the country. The country has been on a free fall in the FIFA rankings in the recent past. The rampant corruption should be stopped if the country is to realize significant gains in soccer.Today, soccer is no longer just a passion, it is big business.
