NSL: 3K FC docked points over missing ambulance

National Super League outfit 3K Football Club has been docked three points after failing to provide a properly equipped ambulance during their NSL fixture against Darajani Gogo last weekend, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has confirmed.

The costly disciplinary action came after the scheduled match was called off due to medical safety concerns. According to 3K assistant coach Moses Munene, the ambulance assigned to the fixture arrived late at the venue and lacked basic emergency medical equipment, prompting match officials to abandon the game.

As a result, FKF awarded Darajani Gogo a walkover victory and the accompanying three points, significantly impacting 3K’s league standing. The Nairobi-based side now sits 11th on the NSL table with 36 points from 27 matches.

“This was an unfortunate situation. The ambulance arrived late and wasn’t fully equipped, which cost us the game,” Munene said, expressing disappointment over the avoidable setback.

However, 3K will be looking to bounce back when they return to action this Wednesday against Kibera Black Stars as they aim to regain momentum in the second-tier league.

The incident has once again sparked conversation about logistical preparedness and safety standards in lower-tier Kenyan football, with stakeholders calling for stricter enforcement of matchday requirements.
