Players Status and Registration
In professional football, the relationship between clubs and players is based on contractual relationships and players routinely move from one club to another. Kakamega FKF in its aspiration to provide effective means to regulate and clarify the status and movement of players, has incorporated the FKF Regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players (“Regulations”), in line with similar regulations adopted and implemented by FIFA. These regulations deal with the status and eligibility of players, as well as the rules applicable whenever players move between clubs belonging to different clubs affiliated to the Football Kenya Federation.
Player Registration
As per Article 5 of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfers of Players, “a player must be registered at an association to play for a club as either a professional or an amateur in accordance with the provisions of Article 2. Only registered players are eligible to participate in organised football. By the act of registering, a player agrees to abide by the statutes and regulations of FIFA, the confederations and the associations.” In order to comply with the above provision, the Kakamega FKF is implementing the Centralised Registration System (CRS), an online electronic information system that is directly connected to FIFA Connect. The primary objective of CRS is to keep track of all the player registrations, contract renewals and domestic player transfers in the county and country, thereby simplifying the processes and improving transparency.
Player Transfers
In football, a transfer is the action taken whenever a player moves between clubs. It refers to the transferring of a player’s registration from one football club to another. The Centralised Registration System (CRS) shall be used to administer and monitor all county and domestic transfers of professional and amateur players. International player transfers shall strictly adhere to the FIFA regulations concerning the same and the administrative process for such transfers shall involve the International Transfer Certificate (ITC) procedure, conducted exclusively via the FIFA Transfer Matching system (TMS).
Disciplinary
The Kakamega FKF, in line with similar regulations adopted and implemented by FIFA, has created the Disciplinary, Code to provide for effective means to preserve and regulate the substantive and formal provisions governing the punishment for disciplinary offences falling within their scope of application. It describes the infringements, regulates the application of penalties, governs the actions of the disciplinary bodies and defines the procedure to be followed before these bodies. This Code applies if the statutory objectives of FKF are breached, especially in cases of forgery, corruption and doping. It also applies to every match
and competition organised by FKF and for any breach of FKF regulations that does not fall under the jurisdiction of any other body. Misrepresentation in players’ documentation and duplication of profiles in the Centralised Registration System (CRS) shall view also be treated as serious violation of the Disciplinary Code. documents related to FKF Disciplinary Matters.
Anti-doping
In competitive sports, doping refers to the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors. The use
of such substances is considered unethical, and therefore prohibited by most international sports organizations including the FIFA.
Furthermore, athletes (or athletic programs) taking explicit measures to evade the detection exacerbates the ethical violation with
overt deception and cheating.
Doping is defined by World Anti-Doping Agency as the occurrence of one or more of the following anti-doping rule violations
mentioned in the WADA/NADA Code:
Prohibited Association
Presence of a prohibited substance or its metabolites or markers in an athlete’s sample
Use or attempted use by an athlete of a prohibited substance or a prohibited method

Kakamega FKF conducts a scouting programme through a network of scouts spread across the county. Scouts watch for players as per the requirements of the Coach of the respective Teams (both male and female across age groups). Coaches may invite players to the camp for further trials based on the recommendations shared by scouts.
Scouting is conducted across competitions conducted by FKF which are leagues competitions between FKF accredited Academies/Clubs. Scouts may also be present at competitions conducted by the County branch and FKF, by University/School Education bodies and by private entities. Further, bring on board, the National Team Scouting department to conduct trials in different sub-counties on a periodic basis in association with the respective competitions. Sub County branches are encouraged to ensure the attendance of potential talents from all sub county branches within their area at these trials.
Aspiring players are strongly advised to continuously participate in local competitions like local tournaments, inter-School, inter-College, etc. in order to increase their chances of selection into the zonal/regional/State-level age-category teams.
