NyamuNyamu says poor funding, match fixing hurting women football

Clubs have struggled to give their best due to poor funding, and the veteran coach believes more can be achieved if the federation brought on board shirt sponsors and well paying broadcast partners.

“The league will be much better if there are sponsors. Financial constraints have been our biggest undoing.”

According to NyamuNyamu, sponsorship is crucial not only for the survival of all participating clubs but also to ensure that the league's winners receive a deserving award.

The financial backing, NyamuNyamu says would allow clubs to manage their operations effectively, support player development, and enhance overall team performance.

“Scheduling matches to be played at the same time and avoiding long breaks before playing another match will prevent cheating or match-fixing. It is currently the problem. Due to the delays, those with the motives find space to plan and carry out the outlawed activity.”

In addition to the financial concerns, NyamuNyamu highlighted the need for a more structured and fair scheduling system.

He urged the federation to ensure that all matches are played simultaneously and to avoid long breaks between games.

“Uniform match scheduling is a common practice in many top-tier leagues around the world. It ensures that all teams compete under similar conditions, maintaining the integrity of the competition,” he added.

“Long breaks can disrupt a team's momentum and create opportunities for unfair advantages.

“By standardizing match times, the league can foster a more competitive and honest environment, which is crucial for its reputation and credibility.”
