The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has announced the postponement of the Kenyan Premier League’s round 15 matches, which were initially scheduled for January 4th and 5th, 2025. This decision comes in the wake of the recent elections held on December 7, 2024, which saw Hussein Mohammed elected as the new FKF president, succeeding Nick Mwendwa.
The postponement is attributed to the ongoing restructuring process within the federation, which has left several crucial standing committees, such as those handling leagues and competitions, referees, and player status, non-operational. These committees are essential for the seamless management of the leagues, and their absence has necessitated the delay of the matches.
In a statement, FKF emphasized the need to finalize the formation of these committees during a national executive meeting set for January 7, 2025. The federation has expressed its commitment to ensuring the smooth running of the leagues once the restructuring is complete and has promised to announce new dates for the postponed fixtures in due course.
While this postponement may be disappointing for fans and players, it underscores FKF’s intent to prioritize proper governance structures for the long-term success of Kenyan football. Stakeholders and fans alike are keenly observing how the federation navigates this transition period, hoping that the resolutions made on January 7 will pave the way for a more stable and organized league structure.
The football community now waits with anticipation for the federation’s next steps, hoping for a swift resolution that will allow the league to resume without further delays.
