Chebet has been off to a good start this season, where he successfully defended his Boston Marathon title.
In stark contrast to previous years when they encountered difficulties with their kits, this time, the Kenyan team arrived decked out in a well-coordinated and professional ensemble.
Speaking about the challenges they faced in the past, Hashim Kamau, the Technical Director of the Kenyan Amputee Football Federation, highlighted the lack of support that hampered their preparation for similar tournaments.
“During our last tournament in Mexico, the team barely had uniforms and were forced to use attires that were branded and supplied by former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko. There was a lot of public uproar but we hope things will be better this time,” he stated as per KTMN.
