Football boss Auka Gacheo off the market

His job description consists of overseeing football development through the organizing of several age-group tournaments of both boys and girls held in various countries annually.
A former rugby player, Gacheo has also previously served as General Manager of Pay-Tv channel Supersport and was the brains behind the live broadcast of Kenyan Premier League matches across the continent.
He is known to have interests in film and production through his Live Eye company.
Recently, Gacheo heaped praise on President William Ruto’s announcement to the effect that Kenya will enter the bidding chase to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba has clarified that Kenya will either bid to host the tournament on her own or engage other East African countries namely Uganda and Tanzania over a possible joint bid.
