FKF FC Talanta fined Ksh420,000 for failing to present women’s team
Talanta have paid the price for failing to present a women's team, a required stipulation by CAF, before qualifying to be issued with a club license.
The team's perseverance has already yielded exciting results, with a new partnership with betting company Bangabet, injecting a significant boost of Ksh20 million into the club for the upcoming season.
Shabana’s journey to securing a home ground was not without its challenges. While the club initially submitted Narok’s William Ole Ntimama Stadium as an alternative home ground, it was unfortunately deemed unfit to meet the stringent requirements set by the Federation's inspection team.
However, the subsequent arrangement with Raila Odinga Stadium has brought renewed enthusiasm to the team and its fans.
