Gor Mahia captain Kenneth Muguna and Antony Kimani from Nairobi City stars received the token on behalf of the 36 clubs.
Kimani said: ‘’We feel appreciated. Never before has football been suspended to this extent and this token, though not enough, will go a long way in cushioning us against the economic effects of the global pandemic.’’
Betika commercial Head John Mbatia reiterated Betika’s commitment to supporting Kenyan Football as he presented the cheque to FKF president Nick Mwendwa.
‘’Football has been largely affected by this pandemic and it is for this reason we opted to partner FKF in supporting our players.’’ Said Mbatia.
