Currently, Kenya sit second in Group E on two points behind Mali who top the group with four points after two matches played.Matchday II is done and dusted, and here is how it stands 👇Up next, in October, are back-to-back ties against table toppers Mali.#Tunaweza pic.twitter.com/DjjZ9h4T8e— Harambee Stars (@Harambee__Stars) September 6, 2021 This past weekend, the new season got underway with all eighteen teams taking part in the nine matches played across different venues in the country. After matchday 1, it is coastal side Bandari FC who made a flying start as they recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over last season survivors Mathare United to finish the weekend at the top of the table.⚽| All Matchday 1 Results#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/rfhx5ZU005— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) September 26, 2021 After a disappointing 2020/2021 season, record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia, as well as perennial rivals AFC Leopards, also got off to the perfect start as they recorded impressive victories against last season’s runners up KCB and reigning champions Tusker respectively.
