FKF and KPL have always been at loggerheads over whether 16 or 18 teams should participate in the premier league. The inclusion of Sofapaka and Muhoroni football clubs in the premier league is the latest bone of contention. For a country that once dominated football rankings in East and Central Africa, Kenya’s Fifa rankings have been depressing for a long time. Rather than operate antagonistically, KPL and FKF must work harmoniously to streamline the running of football in the country.
