Susan Burns – Ag. US Ambassador to Kenya: There have been no insecurity incidents across the US, Canada or Mexico since the World Cup began. Partly because we are used to large stadiums for American football and baseball. Working with police and security ensures that everyone has a good time #SportyMonday

Susan Burns – Ag. US Ambassador to Kenya: Track and field is an area where Kenyans do very well. We have a very rich university ecosystem for track and field in the US #SportyMonday

Susan Burns – Ag. US Ambassador to Kenya: Kenya has a very educated and talented workforce. I’d love to see what more we could do particularly in the tech sector. There is already a lot that is happening here. I would encourage anybody thinking of studying in the US to look at our social media because we advertise the opportunities we have #SportyMonday

But beyond the football spectacle, how can sport strengthen diplomatic ties? And how can the United States and Kenya leverage sports diplomacy to deepen their longstanding relationship?

FKF in civil war: The legal battlelines

FKF leadership in disarray after fresh infighting. Mariga says FKF president Hussein, CEO Gicheru ‘suspended’. Hussein says FKF constitution was violated

Hussein: Only the president can call a NEC meeting

Rumoured Hussein-Mariga fallout plays out in public

Mariga: Move meant to safeguard FKF’s intergrity

9 of 15 NEC members back Mariga faction

Lordvick Aduda – Former FKF CEO: We have a serious crisis. We are just months away from hosting AFCON. They should stop this nonsense. FKF has its own mechanisms where the duly accredited delegates step in and request for a special general meeting where both factions should be invited to present what they have #SportyMonday

[Citizen TV Kenya @citizentvkenya]

Lordvick Aduda: Both factions should realize that they are putting Kenya’s chances of hosting AFCON at jeopardy. If the NEC members acted in haste then it will be sad for Kenya but if indeed they acted out of document provision, then there will be action #SportyMonday

[Citizen TV Kenya @citizentvkenya]

Lordvick Aduda: We have a serious issue and people are playing games including branch officials who have the constitutional authority to summon all these people. Whatever they are doing is nonsense #SportyMonday
