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
