The Deaf Football Federation of Kenya (DFFK) wants the government to back its bid to host the 2031 World Deaf Football Championship.
The federation's president Stephen Waweru said he wants the government, through the Ministry of Sports, to give them the green light to bid for the event.
"I would like the government to grant us the green light to host the sixth World Deaf Football Championship in 2031. China will host the fifth global show in 2027,” he noted.
Waweru was recently recognized by the State as one of the Heroes during Mashujaa Day celebrations.
"With my efforts to propel deaf football in the country having been recognised, I see this as a step in the right direction," said Waweru.
Waweru, who is also the founder of Planet Deaf FC based in Kibera said: “Initially, there was no football for the deaf people in Nairobi and Kenya at large. I really struggled to create a club that has become a beehive of activity."
