Football Kenya Federation has on Thursday, May 16, 2019, carried out a workshop for FKF National Super League Clubs as a precursor to the Club Licensing process for the 2019/2020 season.
The workshop brought together officials from all the NSL clubs, as well as selected Division One League Clubs who stand a chance of promotion.
They were taken through an overview of the Club Licensing process, specifically, the Legal, Infrastructure, Youth, Financial and Administrative criteria that the clubs are meant to meet in order to be handed licenses for the upcoming season.
“Club Licensing is a directive from World Governing Body FIFA, through the Confederation of African Football (CAF). It is, therefore, a mandatory process that should be adhered to for the good of the game,” said FKF General Secretary Robert Muthomi.
“I want to urge all clubs to take this Club Licensing process seriously as it is our gateway to good governance in club football,” he added.
