Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF PL) players and staff are set to be vaccinated ahead of the league’s resumption.

The exercise that kicks off on Saturday 10, April aims at vaccinating 30 members of the playing unit and 10 officials from each of the 18 clubs participating in the league.

Already there are talks of league resumption in the next ten days but this is yet to be verified by the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage.

On March 26, 2021, President Uhuru Kenyatta suspended all sporting activities in the country in a bid to stop the rapid spread of the Coronavirus. The FKF PL had just gathered momentum but a bleak future faced the newly constituted league with no timelines given for the resumption. However a glimmer of hope is now on the horizon with the latest development.  

Football Kenya Federation, in an official statement outlined a timetable of the inoculation process that starts on April 10, 2021.

Eleven clubs within the Nairobi region will be the first to have their jabs with the rest to follow suit.
