AFC Leopards coach Patrick Aussems is happy that there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel after FKF was restored by the government and hopes that the league will resume in the next fortnight.Last week, new CS Ababu Namwamba restored the federation that had been in the cold for the last year after it was kicked out by former CS Amina Mohammed. This marked the beginning of the end of what had been a turbulent period for football in the country. The suspension, that was slapped on Kenya by FIFA in February had affected both the national teams and clubs.##NAJAVA_MECA_6798264##The leagues had also stalled. Five months after the conclusion of the 2021/22 season, there was no roadmap for the resumption of football activities in the country and last week after their restoration, FKF CEO Barry Otieno promised that they would soon issue a roadmap for the resumption of football in the country.Aussems, who has been one of the tacticians calling for an end to the stalemate that had rocked Kenyan football is happy that there is some form of white smoke eventually and hopes that there will be no further delays. He hopes that the league will be on in the next two weeks.“Things should be solved very quickly but we still don’t know when it starts, let’s hope that in two weeks we will be able to resume. But yes it is a good step forward and is important for us because playing friendly games and training is one thing and competing is a different thing,” he said.AFC Leopards’ Umbro kit will hit the market soon. pic.twitter.com/cqsikJZScn— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) November 2, 2022 On Saturday, Leopards defeated KCB in a friendly match at the Nyayo Nationa Stadium. A Brian Wanyama goal is all they needed to pip the Bankers but Aussems was not entirely convinced by his team’s performance.”We were only good in the final 20 minutes of the first half and the first 20 of the second half, the rest of the time I did not like it. But I can understand the players because we have been training and waiting for the league to start, let’s hope it will be as soon as possible,” he added.Unconfirmed reports indicate that the league could resume on 20th November 2022.Kenya Police FC rocked by key injuries
