Football in Kenya

The Kenyan football league system is a series of several interconnected leagues for football clubs in Kenya.

The top level league is the Premier League and below it is Division One, which is divided into two zones for the Eastern and Western halves of Kenya, which are further divided into two groups from various regions in Eastern and Western Kenya. Below that is the Provincial League, divided into provincial divisions based on the Provinces of Kenya (except for North Eastern, some of which are further divided into a number of zones. Below that is the County League and the bottom level District League. Inwomen's football, there is the Premier League as the top tier league, above Division One.
In November 2012, the Football Kenya Federation began talks to create Division Two, which, if approved, will go above the Provincial League as the third tier. The proposal says that the league will be made of 16 teams; the four relegated teams from both zones of Division One and one team from each of the eight provincial leagues. The 16 teams will be divided into two zones of eight teams each on the same basis as Division One in terms of locations of teams in the zones. The winners from each zone would be promoted to their respective zones in Division One, e.g. the winner from Zone A in Division Two would be promoted to Zone A in Division One.
On 25 April 2013, the Football Kenya Federation decided to slash the league to 20 teams for the 2014 season. For that to happen, it was decided that the league will consist of top 5 teams in each zone (except the two teams that win the promotion play-offs) in addition to the two relegated Premier League teams. The remaining 29 teams will be relegated to FKF Division Two, which will begin next season, along with the 8 teams promoted from the Provincial League
