OPINION: Kenyan Hockey is on its deathbed and KHU is to blame

Mozzart Sport Kenya 1 feb 2023 English

Kenyan hockey has declined sharply from its historic heights — when the men's national team competed in seven Olympic Games and finished fourth at the 1971 World Cup — to its current lowly world rankings (57th for men, 37th for women). The author, Alvin Wesonga, lays blame squarely on the Kenya Hockey Union (KHU), alleging its current officials are in office illegally under both the Sports Act of 2013 and KHU's own constitution. Key grievances include: the deteriorated state of the City Park Stadium national hockey ground, which cannot host even basic international matches; the women's team repeatedly handing walkovers at major continental tournaments, including the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Ghana and the Hockey 5's World Cup Qualifiers in Egypt (December 2022); the unexplained dismissal of women's team assistant coach Barbara Simiyu, captain Rhoda Kuira, and top scorer Aurelia Opondo ahead of the Commonwealth Games, despite their role in qualifying; a lack of transparency and financial accountability that has repelled corporate sponsors; and a culture of silencing critics. The late hockey legend Parminder Singh Saini, who represented Kenya at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics, is cited as having condemned the KHU's failures before his death in 2021. The author warns that without urgent intervention, passion for the sport will die and future generations will be impossible to reach.

The text argues that Kenya lacks fully professional football structures, particularly for women, despite periods of strong youth talent and recent national-team success. It highlights the early promise shown in school competitions supported by Airtel and Manchester United but criticizes the Kenya Football Federation for failing to nurture women players into professional careers. Several standout athletes are cited as examples of undeveloped potential.

THE QUIET GAME WITH LOUD STICKS

Alvinwesonga 18 jul 2016 English

The article discusses the state of field hockey in Kenya, highlighting the country's high ranking in the African Hockey Federation and its poor infrastructure for the sport. Despite having successful clubs like Telkom Orange Hockey Club, Kenya suffers from a lack of government recognition and financial support for its national teams. The author points out the financial struggles faced by players due to the Kenya Hockey Union's inability to provide allowances and the withdrawal from the African Youth Champions due to lack of funds. The article also notes the lack of appreciation for hockey in Kenya, with media houses failing to promote the sport, and calls for government action to improve facilities and for media to give hockey more coverage.
