The Kenya Premier League (KPL) and Football Kenya Federation (FKF) are yet to come to a consensus on the promotion and relegation of soccer teams.
FKF wants the last two teams in the KPL to be relegated and the team that sits in position 16 to play a play-off match against third place in the NSL.
“Two teams will be automatically relegated from the KPL and two will be automatically promoted from the NSL. After that, we will have a play-off between number 16 in the KPL and number three in the NSL. That is the position,” FKF Chief Executive Officer Robert Muthomi said.
According to the reports, the two parties are yet agree to the promotion and relegation criteria.
“The agreement is very clear that two teams will be relegated at the end of the season and two promoted from the NSL. We cannot change rules in the middle. As far as KPL is concerned, that is the stand,” KPL Chief Executive Officer Jack Oguda said.
