Since returning home to Kenya, Brian Andaje and Sunday Adam Majimbo have spoken publicly about the ordeal that left them homeless and stranded in Indonesia for five months.

Their experience is a reminder that not every opportunity is what it seems. Taking the time to verify an offer and seeking independent advice can make all the difference.

Before making a move abroad, players should check in with their union, and never be afraid to ask questions.

Kenyan footballers Brian Andaje and Sunday Adam Majimbo believed they were travelling to Indonesia to sign for professional clubs.

Despite being told they would have contracts on arrival, the players were never introduced to any clubs and, over time, communication with the intermediary became limited before eventually ceasing altogether.

The players were left stranded with no income, and at one point were sleeping on the streets before seeking help.

After months of uncertainty, Indonesian player union @APPI_info and Kenyan player union @KEFWAofficial, together with the Kenyan Embassy in Jakarta, stepped in to provide support and help bring both players safely back to Kenya.

Their story highlights the importance of seeking advice from player unions before pursuing football opportunities abroad, and the dangers of fake football agents.
