Firat wants friendly matches against European nations
Harambee Stars head coach Engin Firat has challenged Football Kenya Federation to start organising friendly matches against European nations to bring the country to the desired competitive standards. Firat made the remarks while fielding questions from journalists who sought to know why Kenya had chosen to pick Iran for an international friendly match that has been set for Tehran on March 28. Friendly matches were scheduled against weak opposition that the nation could easily defeat because Harambee Stars has always been under pressure to produce results,” Firat said. “When I looked up Kenya’s football history, I discovered that it has never faced off against a European team. We need to organise a friendly game with a team from Europe this year,” he said.
