NFF Says Kenya Responsible For Their Troubles

The Nigeria Football Federation says the Harambee Stars of Kenya are responsible for their own travel woes in Nigeria.
The Kenyan football team are in Nigeria to take on the Super Eagles in a World Cup Qualifying match on Saturday in Calabar. They arrived the country on Wednesday, and pictures have emerged showing the Harambee Stars training on a grass-less ground at a Primary school in Oshodi, Lagos.
The Kenya Football Federation have since expressed their disappointment on the shabby arrangement which the NFF made for their team.
But NFF official Bola Oyeyode, who is the coordinator for the game, told KickOffNigeria.com that the Kenyans had no one but themselves to blame.
"To start with they were playing hide and seek with their travel arrangements," Oyeyode began.
"They refused to communicate their arrival date to us despite numerous letters from us to them. When information came, it was limited," according to Oyeyode.
Regarding the training ground, Oyeyode said that the Kenyans chose the substandard ground on advise of one of their 'consultants'.
"We went out of our way to book the training pitch of the National Stadium in Surulere for them at a very short notice. "But they refused to go there, and they chose that primary school to train."
