One thing I've learnt over time, the Visa officials at the Embassy operate on relatively different rules from Visa officials at a country's border point.
So Miti Mbili is all but gone.
From the fencing around the area, I see it practically impossible to hold a rally stage there.
Miti Mbili has existed longer than any of us have been alive. It was made famous by the Safari Rally and became the most watched spectacle over the last three years.
For safety reasons, Safari Rally is run on private land. The land owners now have better plans for their property over the remaining 364 days of the year.
I'm confident the route organisers can unearth another 'miti mbili' spectacle that could top what we've all come to love.
Safari Rally cannot be tied down to two trees and a jump.
This is Kenya and Safari Rally is our business.
When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called โFan ID.โ
Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFAโs sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.
So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.
