Due to Corruption allegations, in February, Football’s World governing body (FIFA) suspended the Football Kenyan Federation (FKF) from hosting or playing in any international matches under FIFA ban.

Ababu Namwamba- Kenya Sports Minister announced on Monday that the  Federation would be reinstated but warned that official facing charges not returned to the body until his case is concluded.

“I would like to express my delight for Kenya to return back to international football,” he said, announcing the lifting of the ban.

“I am happy that FIFA has made it clear that certain issues of integrity, accountability and good governance in football will be sorted out and investigations into judicial matters remain alive,” he added.

The Kenyan government disbanded the country’s football federation after investigations into its finances. The body couldn’t account for this funds received from both government and other sponsors.
