Benni McCarthy makes South African-based defender his first Harambee Stars call-up
New Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has handed a lifeline to the South African-based defender after including him in his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Security personnel swiftly intervened to protect the referee, but as the situation escalated beyond control, the match was declared void, leaving both teams and their supporters in uncertainty regarding the final outcome.
As the FKF Leagues and Competitions Committee prepares to deliberate on the matter in the coming days, several potential outcomes could emerge from their ruling:
The committee may order a rematch at a neutral venue or under strict security arrangements to ensure a fair contest without external interference.
If investigations determine that one team was primarily responsible for the chaos, the committee could award the win to the opposing team, effectively eliminating the guilty side from the competition.
