FOOTBALL STAKEHOLDERS URGE COUNTIES TO INVEST IN GRASSROOTS SPORTS DEVELOPMENT

Football stakeholders have called on county governments not to overlook grassroots sports, describing them as the foundation for producing the country’s celebrated athletes. Speaking during a back-to-school football tournament for high school students in Awendo Sub-County, Migori, the organisers said such events keep learners engaged during school holidays, helping to curb social vices such as early pregnancies among girls.
