It is still not clear if the KPL will kick off on the said dates as the meeting mainly comprised of the club officials rather than all the FKF officials. However, Pulse Sports analyzed the benefits of resuming the league after months of waiting.
Trophies
When taking part in a sport, the main aim is to always make an impact by winning trophies for the club and putting your name on the map.
)
Gor Mahia have the most KPL trophies and they could be bagging their 20th this season. The competition is however open and any club can lift it depending on how ready they will be when the league kicks off.
Players tend to showcase to their children and grandchildren photos of themselves celebrating after winning various titles and there is always pride in doing so.
National team
When you perform well at the club level in the league, chances of being called up to the national team are always high.
)
Playing in the national team has a lot of responsibilities and those who get lucky to do it are always seen as the country's heroes especially after winning a match.
Transfers
Players tend to move from one club to another, especially when they play. This can only happen when the league is on.
)
The beauty in this is that some players get lucky to play in Europe where the whole world gets to know them. For instance, Victor Wanyama has been able to put Kenya's name on the map by traversing several leagues in Europe.
Another advantage is that one will also be able to make a lot of money by playing in the abroad leagues. Most clubs in Kenya struggle when it comes to paying their players while this is unheard of in Europe.
