STARS ABROAD Why Joash Onyango and Duke Abuya may be locked out of Tanzania’s Community Shield
The two Kenyan players have not received clearance to play in the season’s curtain-raiser which will feature Singida Fountain Gate, Yanga, Simba and Azam FC
It has now emerged that what was holding the clearance was a requirement that all foreign players secure a work permit before they are allowed to turn out for their respective clubs and by Wednesday evening, only Azam had complied.
“The reason is that all foreign players here need to have a work permit and it costs $1,750 (Ksh251,300) per player. They need to have this renewed every year. The limit of foreign players in our league is 12 so when you combine, it goes to $21,000 (Ksh3 million),” a source privy to the goings-on told Pulse Sports.
“All that money goes to the department of immigration. Without those payments, no foreign player can be allowed to play whether the transfer window is open or not.”
Of Singida’s foreign players, Onyango will be under huge scrutiny on Thursday as he takes on Simba who he left after three years in July.
