Women athletes have felt left out of various support programs during these COVID-19 pandemic.
Kenya Women’s Premier League players missed out when Football Kenya Federation (FKF) in partnership with betting firm Betika gave their men’s counterparts Kshs 5000 each last month.
They were not also considered when Amina announced Kshs 10,000 pay to each Kenyan Premier League player for the next three months.
Thirty players and five technical bench members from 12 most vulnerable KPL clubs were considered.
