FIFA ratifies decision on Kenya's indefinite suspension

Kenya will remain suspended indefinitely from all international football competitions over government interference after the decision was ratified at the FIFA Congress in Doha on Thursday.

The Kenyan government has had a one-month window to relinquish management of the country’s football and allow the beleaguered Football Kenya Federation (FKF) back in charge.

That committee remains in charge although it is approaching the end of its six-month mandate after which elections to vote in the next FKF administration are to be held.

FIFA had set the ultimatum of FKF’s unconditional return to office last month when it announced it was suspending Kenya as it demanded the Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed rescind her decision to appoint a caretaker committee.

None of the conditions spelled out have yet to be met.

The suspensions of Zimbabwe and Pakistan have also been ratified.

Suspensions means the three countries cannot take part in international competitions until they are lifted.
