The fact that Neddy Atieno has had to publicly initiate a fundraising campaign underscores the negligence and lack of support that women\u2019s football has faced from those in positions of responsibility.<\/p>\n While initiatives like Fan 10bob are commendable for their grassroots efforts to support women\u2019s football, they also serve as a stark reminder of the systemic issues plaguing the sport. It\u2019s disheartening to see talented athletes and passionate teams hindered by financial constraints when there are resources available within the federation\u2019\u2019, a communique from Extreme sports read.<\/p>\n The CEO asked for transparency when it comes to handling the FIFA grants meant to develop women soccer.<\/p>\n \u2018\u2019The revelation that the federation receives significant funding from FIFA to support women\u2019s football makes the situation even more egregious. It raises questions about the transparency and accountability of these funds and why they are not effectively reaching the teams in need\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n NNeddy Atieno is a former Kenyan international who turned out for Harambee Starlets and featured at the 2016 Africa Women\u2019s Cup of Nations .She locally played for Kenya Women\u2019s Premier League side Ulinzi Starlets as a forward.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The post Neddy Atieno\u2019s initiative boosted by donation from Extreme Sports<\/a> first appeared on KBC<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Former Kenyan \u00a0international Neddy Atieno\u2019s initiative Fan 10 bob has received a boost after Extreme Sports donated Ksh.150,000.
