Muhoroni Youth have been handed a number of sanctions by the FKF Leagues and Competitions Committee following the abandonment of their league match against KCB on Monday

Muhoroni Youth have been slapped with sanctions by the Football Kenya Federation’s Leagues and Competitions Committee following the abandonment of their league match against KCB on Monday.

The match was abandoned in the 90th minute after a section of Muhoroni fans attacked KCB technical bench members while the bankers were leading 1-0 at the Muhoroni Stadium.

Ugly scenes were witnessed in the latter stages of the contest when KCB coach Bernard Mwalala was pushed to the ground by a Muhoroni official, leading to a scuffle before the referee put a stop to the match.

Following the incident, FKF have responded with fines for Muhoroni with the game handed to KCB courtesy of 2-0 win with the home side fined Ksh300,000 and ordered to play their next five home games in an empty stadium.

With calls to have the Muhoroni Stadium banned from hosting any league matches due to its increasingly risky state, FKF seems to have listened, albeit temporarily, as the club will play its next home matches way from Muhoroni and without fans.

Muhoroni Youth chairman Moses Adagala has also been banned from attending the club's next three games as part of the sanctions.
