They were, however, handed a reprieve when the SDT ruled that the league was not run in accordance with the FKF constitution. Subsequently, following the reinstatement of the FKF Executive, the league was totally scrapped. The decision has since been challenged at the SDT.”For more than seven months, uncertainty has hovered over this great club. Our future in competitive league action has been in limbo and much has been written about this. But two weeks ago there was a change in fortune as work began – behind the scenes – towards restoring the face of Mathare United in Kenyan football,” Mathare said in a statement.
