Kenyan social media has erupted with outrage following the circulation of a video allegedly linking former Harambee Stars goalkeeper Patrick Matasi to a possible betting ring.

In the video, Matasi appears to be listening and nodding in agreement as an unidentified individual, believed to be a recruiter, gives instructions on the next moves.

The former Kenya Police FC shot-stopper, who also played for Ethiopia’s Saint Georges  FC, Tusker FC and AFC Leopards , was recently released by Police FC under unclear circumstances.

His last appearance for Harambee Stars saw him concede four goals in a 4-1 defeat to Cameroon, with the final goal—deemed suspiciously soft—raising eyebrows among football fans. The loss further diminished Kenya’s chances of qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations. Shortly after, head coach Engin Firat resigned, bringing an end to his troubled tenure with the national team.

The leaked video has sparked condemnation across social media, with fans expressing their frustration. Among them was Afande Cele, who took to Facebook, lamenting: “It’s heartbreaking for those who take the legitimate route to see our game and industry grow. It has always been speculation, not knowing what to believe. But today, we have proof… this pierces so deep. First half, hold a draw… second half, let go… eeeihh.”

Despite the uproar, key details remain unclear, including when the video was recorded and the identity of the alleged recruiter. Efforts to reach Patrick Matasi for comment were unsuccessful.
