Supaturf Accredited in Kenya

Supaturf line marking liquids and ultilities have been accredited by FKF – Football Kenya Federation.

In an open letter to all concerned in football in Kenya, FKF National Chairman Sam Nyamweya, said that line marking is an integral aspect in football.

“A well-marked pitch improves the standard of play by assisting match officials in making the right calls and helps players determine their mode of play.  Well marked pitches are also soft on the eye and will encourage more corporate participation in local football if the images beamed on television and newsprint show perfectly marked pitches,” he says.

“In this football calendar year, the FKA has banned the use of used engine oil and chalk/lime to mark football pitches, in line with FIFA standards and local National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) laws.

“FIFA and CAF have recommended 5-inch lines for competition matches, a move that makes it very easy for referees and linesmen to determine goals,  offsides, throw-ins and corners.

“We are directing all members in the FKF family to make the transition and be part of the changing face of Kenyan football.

“In this regard, FKF has accredited Supaturf East Africa Ltd, which supplies eco-friendly line-marking liquids and utilities which mark pitches based on FIFA/CAF standards.”
