Kenyan representation within the global football arena has received a significant boost with the appointment of three distinguished individuals to various FIFA committees by the FIFA Council.

Leading the charge is Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohamed, who has been appointed as a member of the crucial FIFA Institutional Relations Committee.

This committee plays a vital role in shaping FIFA’s global outreach, advising and assisting the organization in building and maintaining relationships with top international institutions such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the United Nations (UN) and its agencies (UNESCO, UNICEF), and various governmental and non-governmental organizations worldwide, as well as other international sports associations.

Mohamed’s appointment to such a pivotal committee highlights the trust and confidence placed in his leadership and diplomatic skills.

Joining him in this prestigious roster are two other accomplished Kenyans. Abdullahi Yussuf Ibrahim has been named a member of the FIFA Stadium and Security Committee.

This committee is instrumental in ensuring the safety and security of football events globally, overseeing stadium infrastructure and security protocols. Ibrahim’s expertise will be invaluable in contributing to the highest standards of safety in football.

Furthermore, Janet Katisya, who has previously served with distinction, continues her role as a member of the FIFA Ethics Committee.

This committee is the cornerstone of good governance and integrity within FIFA, responsible for upholding ethical standards and investigating potential breaches.
