The federation boss reveals to Goal the ‘rebel clubs’ will not be entitled to grants despite being reinstated to the top flight
Football Kenya Federation (FKF) have clarified that Mathare United and Zoo FC will not be entitled to grants from sponsors despite being reinstated to the Premier League.
The two ‘rebel clubs’ were reinstated back to the top flight after almost two months out after they were suspended from the league for failure to endorse the broadcast deal between FKF and StarTimes.
After being suspended from the league, the two clubs moved to the Sport Disputes Tribunal (SDT) who ruled in their favour by ordering FKF to have them back in the league.
The federation obeyed the court order on Friday by reinstating the two teams, with Mathare United set to take on Sofapaka on January 14 in their first match of the season, while Zoo will open the season with a match against Bandari FC at Afraha Stadium on January 9.

Mathare United.
The amended fixtures have been produced to accommodate the two clubs who had been expelled due to opposition to the StarTimes-FKF deal
The Football Kenya Federation have released the new Premier League fixtures after Mathare United and Zoo FC were reinstated by the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT).
The two top tier sides had been expelled after they objected to the StarTimes broadcasting deal, but after Zoo moved to SDT, the FKF expulsion notice was stayed by the tribunal’s chair John Ohaga and the federation ordered to allow the clubs to participate in the league.
Mathare United will consequently begin their campaign against Sofapaka on January 14. As Mathare will be starting their season, the rest of the teams would have played six games already and the Slum Boys will have to try and catch up, as most of their fixtures have been congested into a two-week period.
