Any person or organisation wishing to organise a football-related activity must first apply and get clearance from the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) before such an event can be allowed.
This is among the new rules the federation has published, and which organisers of all football events, especially at the grassroots, must adhere to, even as FKF seeks to regulate all football-related activities to ensure the safety of players.
The new move by FKF is in line with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Statutes, Articles 17 and 18, which obligate member associations to safeguard the integrity of the game by regulating football activities and ensuring protection against unapproved or unregulated football programs and competitions.
FKF said these new guidelines will take effect immediately, with the events targeted for regulation being player trials, training sessions or academies.
