End of an era! KPL contract with FKF officially expires

The Kenyan Premier League Limited's mandate to run top-flight football in the country has officially expired.

The company has been running the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) since 2003; when it was formed to curb the constant wrangles between the Federation and the top-tier clubs.

A Football Kenya Federation (FKF)-KPL agreement was drafted in 2015, giving the latter the legal mandate to run top-flight football in the country until September 24, 2020. However, the league administrators did not manage to finish their last season as planned owing to Covid-19.
