Adagala noted that the club, based in a slum area, has served as a lifeline for many local youth by providing a constructive outlet and shielding them from crime.
However, the club’s administration has faced frequent criticism for alleged use of violence to intimidate visiting teams and journalists at their home ground, Muhoroni Stadium—claims that Adagala has consistently denied.
Muhoroni Youth FC chairman Moses Adagala has termed Fifa’s decision to relegate the club over match-fixing allegations as “very painful”, describing it as a major setback for the Kisumu-based community that depends heavily on the team.
On Friday, Fifa’s Disciplinary Committee announced the expulsion of Muhoroni Youth’s senior team from the National Super League (NSL) to the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Division One after the club was found guilty of manipulating match results.
