We also lost our sponsor but we are already working on getting a new one but that takes time,” the president said in an interview.Congratulations to all our winners this 2020/21 FKF Premier League Season.🔗https://t.co/yz2kjtTjsl#FKFPLAwards pic.twitter.com/8SLbhgA9C3— Football Kenya Federation (@Football_Kenya) September 14, 2021 Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic that ravaged worldwide, the 2020/2021 Kenyan season, just as witnessed in many parts of the globe, was played behind closed doors. With financial challenges being a constant ever-present and supporters demanding to be allowed to get back into the grounds, there was however no positive news in that regard.“For me, it is a health issue first. So until the government says we can do it, we have to wait. But I think sometime next year we will back again,” the president added.2020/2021 Season AwardsMost Valuable Player – Eric Kapaito (Kariobangi Sharks)Top Scorer – Eric KapaitoCoach of the Year – Robert Matano (Tusker)Midfielder of the Year – Lawrence Juma (Sofapaka)Defender of the Year – Eugene Asike (Tusker)Young Player of the Year – Henry Meja (Tusker)Fair Play Team of the Year – Kariobangi Sharks
