The world football governing body, Fifa, has lifted Kenya’s suspension from international competitions.
A statement from Fifa secretary general Fatma Samoura further said a delegation comprising Fifa and Caf officials would be sent to the country to advise on the next steps.
“The Bureau of the Council decided on 25 November 2022 to lift the suspension of FKF with immediate effect, ” the letter read in part.
“Upon the lifting of the suspension, a FIFA-CAF mission will be deployed to Nairobi to define the next steps to the FKF and also meet with the newly appointed Cabinet Secretary for Sports.”
On February 22, the world football governing body asked the Kenyan government to repeal the decision to disband Football Kenya Federation and install a caretaker committee or the country will remain in the cold indefinitely.
In a letter to the disbanded federation’s secretary-general Barry Otieno, Fifa asked the government to: “repeal the Cabinet Secretary’s decision of 11 November 2021 appointing the caretaker committee instead of the elected FKF Executive Committee.”
