The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has issued a distressing announcement regarding the disappearance of Jane Hato, the captain of Kenya’s U20 women’s national football team.

The young starlet, who has garnered attention for her promising career, went missing just before a crucial journey to Ethiopia for the CAF Women’s Champions League zonal qualifiers.

Jane Hato is a key figure in Kenyan women’s football, currently playing as an attacking midfielder for Kenya Police Bullets FC.

Her exceptional skills and leadership qualities have been instrumental in her team’s recent successes.

In light of her disappearance, the FKF is urging anyone with information on Hato’s location to come forward.

They have requested that tips or sightings be reported to the nearest police station to aid in the swift and safe recovery of the young athlete.

The federation, along with her team and supporters, remain hopeful of her safe return and is actively working to resolve the troubling situation.
