The Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) will resume on December 4 and not November 27 according to reliable sources. Club representatives and the Football Kenya Federation Caretaker Committee met today in a Nairobi Hotel and settled on pushing the resumption date further by a week. Last week, the Football Kenya Federation Caretaker Committee had hinted that they were hoping leagues would be up and running again this weekend but that will not be the case from the recent development.

Despite hinting in their presser over the weekend that they would be open to having discussions with Kenya Premier League Ltd to run the league, it has now emerged that KPL are out of the picture and will not be considered in the running of the league.The FKF Caretaker Committee has also clarified that they are not considering letting KPL run the league this season.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/MWPGk4KvS2— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) November 24, 2021 The FKF Premier League, the National Super League, and Division One for men have currently been suspended despite some teams in the NSL disregarding the suspension and playing some matches, while the Kenya Women Premier League and the Women’s Division One have also been put on hold.Before the suspension, Gor Mahia were at the helm with 14 points from 6 games.
