Kenyan Premier League club Zoo FC say they will appeal Fifa's decision to relegate them to the second division after being found guilty of match manipulation. In a statement, Zoo FC said it believed the KPL games under investigation to be Zoo's trip to Sofapaka FC in January 2019 and another away game, this time at Wazito FC, in March 2020. "It is our belief that the [Fifa] report was inadequate and its findings doubtful," Zoo FC added in their statement. Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has acknowledged the Fifa sanctions and said it is preparing to restart the league without Zoo FC. Last year four players from another Kenyan club, Kakamega Home Boyz, were handed bans by Fifa for manipulating matches.
