The rivalry between the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) has taken a new twist.
Citing the Sports Disputes Tribunal's ruling of March 17 which kicked the current FKF Executive Committee out of office, KPL states FKF's decision to declare Gor Mahia the league's champions is illegal.
FKF president Nick Mwendwa confirmed the league has been cancelled and based on the first-round of results declared Gor Mahia champions, a decision which was not received well by KPL, who essentially are mandated to run the league.
