The International Football body, FIFA has today lifted the suspension of Football Kenya Federation (FKF).
Kenya will now resume international football at all levels since the ban came into play in February this year.
In a letter sent to the FKF General Secretary, Barry Otieno on November 28th, 2022, FIFA communicated that the suspension has finally been lifted.
Signed by the FIFA Secretary General, Fatma Samoura, the letter indicted that after looking at several circumstances, the FIFA Bureau of the Council decided to lift Kenya’s suspension on November 25th, 2022.
“We would like to inform you that the situation of the FKF was submitted to the Bureau of Fifa Council for consideration and decision on 25 November 2022,” FIFA Secretary-General Fatma Samoura said in a statement.
“On this occasion, the Bureau was informed of the official letter dated 4 November 2022 from the FKF General Secretary Barry Otieno to Fifa confirming that the Kenyan government as represented by the newly appointed Cabinet Secretary for Sports, the Hon. Ababu Namwamba had reinstated the FKF Executive committee with immediate effect.
“The bureau also noted that the FKF General secretary further asserted that the FKF offices had been handed back to the association‘s elected leaders.
FIFA had banned Kenya for what they called government interference when they put in place a Care taker Committee.
