Football Kenya Federation President Hussein Mohammed has revealed that Kenya and Brazil will partner on matters of soccer development.

Mohammed was part of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi’s delegation to Brazil, and he said important agendas were agreed on, including sports development.

“I had the pleasure of joining Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, Dr. Musalia Mudavadi, during his official visit to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Mauro Vieira, in Brasilia, Brazil.

“An array of important bilateral and multilateral issues were discussed between the two countries, and I’m delighted that collaboration in sports, particularly football, was one of them.

“Just like any other important sector, to achieve real, long-lasting development in sports, we must normalize mainstreaming our agenda at every opportunity. We were joined by the Kenyan ambassador to Brazil, Dr. Andrew Karanja, and the Brazilian ambassador to Kenya, Silivio José Albuquerque e Silva,” Mohammed said in a post on his X account.
