The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has reaffirmed and continues to enforce the Rules and Regulations Governing Kenyan Football, a comprehensive framework that guides the administration, competitions, discipline, and overall governance of football across the country.
These regulations, aligned with FIFA and CAF statutes, remain central to promoting integrity, fairness, and professionalism at all levels of Kenyan football — from grassroots and county leagues to national competitions.
Strengthening Governance and Football Administration
Under the updated regulatory framework, FKF remains the supreme authority responsible for organizing and supervising football activities in Kenya. All leagues, clubs, branches, sub-branches, and affiliated members are required to operate strictly within FKF statutes, regulations, and circulars.

FKF disciplinary bodies retain the authority to investigate and adjudicate all football-related offenses.
Dispute Resolution and Appeals
The regulations establish formal mechanisms for:
Lodging protests and complaints
