Saturday, May 3, 2025 - A video has emerged of a Kenyan goalkeeper, Ezekiel Owade, promising to fix a football match by conceding two goals in the first half.
In the undated clip, which has gone viral, Owade is heard
saying, “Hi, it is me here. Ready for the job over the weekend - concede two
goals in the first half.”
Owade has previously featured for several Kenyan clubs,
including Muhoroni Youth, Mara Sugar, AFC Leopards, Bidco United, and Nakumatt
FC.
His alleged involvement in the scandal has added fuel to
growing concerns over integrity in Kenyan football.
The video surfaced just a day after FIFA’s Disciplinary
Committee ordered the immediate relegation of Muhoroni Youth FC from the
National Super League to Division One, citing match manipulation.
FIFA stated that a comprehensive investigation had confirmed
the club's involvement in fixing matches, leading to their expulsion from
second-tier football.
The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) confirmed it had
received FIFA’s ruling and expressed full support for the decision, vowing to
take firm action against all individuals involved.
This comes in the wake of another scandal involving Harambee
Stars goalkeeper Patrick Matasi, who was also recently linked to an alleged
match-fixing attempt in a leaked video.
