Austin Odhiambo: 3 Potential Destinations for Gor Mahia’s Midfield Maestro
Gor Mahia's midfield star Austin Odhiambo has previously attracted transfer interest and will likely spark again as the season culminates.
In a statement released by the federation, FKF reminded stakeholders of its legally recognized mandate. The Federation emphasized its exclusive role in supervising and regulating football across the country.
“The Football Kenya Federation wishes to remind all football stakeholders of its mandate to control and supervise all football matches of all forms played and related activities throughout Kenya,” read part of the statement.
Stricter Approval Protocols Introduced
)
To address what FKF termed “safeguarding concerns” and the risk of exploitation of players, especially in unsanctioned trials and academies, the federation announced strict new approval protocols, effective immediately.
All individuals and organizations intending to host football-related events must now submit a formal request to FKF’s National Office at least 14 days in advance.
This request must include details such as the nature and scope of the event, dates, venues, list of participants, and safeguarding measures.
“Such actions not only undermine the mandate of FKF but also the integrity of the game, and in some instances, expose participants to risk and exploitation by both local and international actors,” FKF cautioned.
Consequences for Non-Compliance
)
FKF has also issued a stern warning to its members.
“Any football activity conducted without FKF authorization shall be considered unaffiliated and unauthorized. Any FKF Member found to be engaging in any unauthorized football engagement may be subjected to disciplinary action,” the statement reads.
The federation's move is seen as a bid to tighten regulation and ensure safety and professionalism within Kenyan football, especially at grassroots levels where oversight has often been lax.
