World football governing body FIFA has called in on Football Kenya to explain why seven people died in a stampede during a crunch Kenya Premier League (KPL) match pitting Gor Mahia against AFC Leopards on Saturday.

Football Kenya vice chairman Erastus Okul, who briefed a meeting of stakeholders involved in the organization and security of the match, said they are waiting for the report before sending a reply to FIFA.

However, the stadium is likely to be banned again after in 2005 it was banned for six months when a teenager died in similar circumstances when Kenya was playing Morocco in the campaign to qualify for the Germany 2006 World Cup.

This would force the country to stage its next qualification matches for the 2012 Africa Nations Cup in Tanzania or Uganda with the only other sanctioned venue, Moi International Sports centre, Kasarani being under renovation by Chinese firm Shengli Contraction Company.

Okul told an emergency fact finding meeting involving Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards, Football Kenya, Sports Stadia Management Board (SSMB), Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sport, Kenya Police, Red Cross Emergency Medical Services that FIFA is keen to unravel what caused the death and who are to blame.

President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Sunday ordered investigations into the cause of the stampede that also left 18 injured.

However, KPL decline to shoulder the guilt but agreed to help in the government in investigation on what led to the death of seven football fans in a stampede as they jostled to access the stadium prior to the kick off.
