 It seems that the Kenyan fans still have little to cheer about |
Fifa will send a three-man delegation to Kenya next month to assess the progress the country is making in changing its football administration.
The Fifa delegates are due to arrive in Kenya on 6 November for a three-day visit.
Kenya was banned from international football for government interference in the sport earlier this year and were only allowed to return after the appointment of a Fifa-approved Normalisation Committee.
The announcement of the visit comes amid a simmering row between the Normalisation Committee and the Harambee Stars Management Board over the appointment of a new coach.
On Tuesday, the committee appointed Twahir Muhiddin as the temporary national team coach until 31 December.
This period includes the 2006 World Cup qualifier against Guinea in Nairobi on 17 November.
Yet the Management Board says that since it pays the coach's wages, it should choose the Harambee Stars' new boss.
On Tuesday, Harambee Stars Management Board secretary-general Patrick Nagi said his body would not pay any coach appointed by the Normalisation Committee.
Meanwhile, Fifa has told BBC Sport that the committee does have the power to chose the next Kenya coach.
The row escalated on Thursday when the two parties traded accusations at a press conference called by Sports Minister Achilo Ayacko.
The conference was to announce the registration, on an interim basis, of the KFF Normalisation Committee to run the sport until fresh elections are held in December.
The Committee, led by former athlete Kipchoge Keino, has insisted that Muhiddin will act as coach on a temporary basis, as the country scouts for a new national coach.
