FKF vs KPL: There was no rush to end season – Amrouche

Adel Amrouche believes it was unnecessary for the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to end the 2019-20 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season.

The federation moved to announce they had ended the season owing to the coronavirus outbreak and declared Gor Mahia as the champions, while promoting Nairobi City Stars from the National Super League (NSL) alongside Bidco United.

But in a ruling delivered on Tuesday after the KPL took the matter to court in a joint suit with Chemelil Sugar, the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) chairman John Ohaga overruled the FKF decision until a hearing is held to determine the outcome of the matter.
