While attending a CAF congress, he presented a strong protest to CAF over its penchant for always pitting Kenyan teams against Egypt teams in the opening rounds of the continental tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>According to Omino the practise of always pairing Kenyan teams with Egyptian sides was killing football in the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We cannot accept this anymore. It is too much as our teams are almost always locked out,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Omino indicated that this practise started after the new millenium: &#8220;During the 80s our clubs could play, sides from the region and even West Africa. By the time they meet Egyptian clubs it was in later stages of the competitions,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Omino was panned and dismissed by many football pundits. CECAFA secretary general Nicholas Musonye dismissed the argument and said Kenyan clubs do not take such competitions seriously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The draws are done in an open manner. The difference is that Kenyan clubs do not take the tournaments seriously,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>A closer look however reveals that there may be a conspiracy. There are 53 countries in Africa yet for some reason, Kenyan teams are pitted against Egyptians teams usually in the preliminary round or in round one.<\/p>\n<p>Some may dismiss this as an unfounded conspiracy but we all know that CAF is not exactly a paragon of fair play. It is a corrupt organization where everything is done in a secretive manner.<\/p>\n<p>Years after Dan Omino filed his complaint, the penchant for CAF to pit Kenyan teams against Egyptians teams in the opening rounds of continental tournaments continues unabated.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years Kenyan teams have been eliminated by Egyptian teams no less than 10 times. Only one team (Sofapaka in 2011) have succeed in eliminating an Egyptian side. On three other occasions, a Kenyan team was eliminated in the preliminary round which had they won, they would have faced an Egyptian side in round 1.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 366px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kenyapage.net\/football\/images\/mulama-ismaili.jpg\" width=\"366\" height=\"205\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An in form Titus Mulama helped Sofapaka beat Ismaili in 2011.

Not just one Kenyan team but both the Kenyan teams in continental tournaments (Tusker and Gor Mahia) had to contend with Egyptian teams in round 1. From the looks of things, The Egyptians are set to come away victors yet again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2011<\/strong><br \/>\nUlinzi played Zamalek in the preliminary round of the Champions league and lost 0-5 aggregate.<br \/>\nSofapaka played Ismaily in the 1st round of the Confederations cup and beat them 4-2.

They were due to play Al Tahrir of Eritrea.

For the people at CAF to make a point of always pitting Kenyan teams against Egyptian teams could mean one of three things<\/p>\n<p>1. They do not want Kenyan teams to progress.<br \/>\n2. They want to give Egyptian teams an easy pass through the opening rounds knowing that Kenyan teams do not typically offer strong opposition.<br \/>\n3. This is all just a coincidence and there is no conspiracy<\/p>\n<p>Judge for yourself. But before you judge, consider the fact that in the last 15 years or so, Kenyan clubs have not played against teams from countries like Morocco, South Africa , Nigeria, CIV, Algeria, Congo, Ghana, Libya, Uganda, Tanzania, Cameroun and a host of other countries. Yet they have been slated to play Egyptian teams at least a dozen times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can Kenyan teams do ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Egyptian sides are clearly doing something right perhaps we can use these opportunities to learn about what structures they have in place and hopefully apply some of those lessons at home. Even then, Kenyan sides face a tall order if they continue to be slated against Egyptian sides which typically have budgets that can compare with teams in western Europe.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-send\" data-href=\"https:\/\/kenyapage.net\/commentary\/football\/a-conspiracy-t\u2026egyptian-teams\/\"><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https:\/\/kenyapage.net\/commentary\/football\/a-conspiracy-t\u2026egyptian-teams\/\" height=\"167\" width=\"221\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/kenyapage.net\/commentary\/football\/a-conspiracy-to-pit-kenyan-teams-against-egyptian-teams\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2005, then KFF secretary general Dan Omino officially protested to CAF over its draws of continental matches.
