FKF starts probe on referee attacks, warns of stern disciplinary action

Football Kenya Federation has launched a full-scale probe into two separate cases of referee harassment involving National Super League side 3K FC at Moi Stadium, Embu and Division One outfit Compel FC at Ilala Stadium in Webuye both taking place held on Sunday, 12th January.

The incidents were reported during the National Super League tie involving 3K FC vs. Kibera Blackstars FC and the Division One fixture between Compel FC and GFE 105 FC.

The Federation says it has received detailed match reports concerning these incidents from the referees' department. The FKF Leagues and Competitions Committee is following up with the clubs involved to obtain their responses regarding these matters promptly.

“As a Federation, we reiterate our commitment to ensuring the safety and security of match officials and promoting the highest standards of sportsmanship and integrity in the game.

“Violence or intimidation against match officials is unacceptable and will be addressed decisively.” Said LCC Chairman Peter “Kass Kass” Kamau.

In collaboration with the FKF Leagues and Competitions Manager, the LCC will convene a meeting on Thursday to deliberate on the reports and determine the necessary course of action.

After the meeting, the committee will issue a comprehensive statement outlining its findings and decisions.
