"I firmly believe it is possible for Premier League teams to generate at least 50 million shillings in profit each season. Achieving this requires strategic thinking," Hussein Mohammed.
As the local football season draws to a close—with the Kenyan Premier League wrapping up this weekend and the Women's Super League in two weeks—it's a time for reflection on the state of our beloved sport.
Sadly, the reality is that the majority of teams, even in the Premier League, will end the season facing significant financial losses. Clubs in other leagues will likely fare even worse.
This predicament is not entirely their fault. Sponsors have distanced themselves from our football scene due to corruption, arrogance, and a lack of decorum, particularly in handling sponsorships and their resources. When football administrators grow wealthier while clubs suffer, the game slowly dies.

Hussein Mohammed demands swift justice in FKF corruption saga involving Nick Mwendwa
Nick Mwendwa finds himself targeted by FKF presidential hopeful Hussein Mohammed urging speedy prosecution over alleged corruption in stadium funds.
However, I firmly believe it is possible for Premier League teams to generate at least 50 million shillings in profit each season. Achieving this requires strategic thinking, improving infrastructure to attract and retain fans, and implementing systemic changes to demonstrate to sponsors that our game is a worthy investment for their hard-earned money.
Some argue that developing infrastructure is solely the government's responsibility and therefore wash their hands of the matter. This is not productive thinking. This is our game. It is a game of partnership, teamwork, and leadership.
The end of the season serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for better leadership within the industry. Only through strong, visionary leadership can our clubs and players prosper, truly elevating our game.
