From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kenyan Premier League is the top division of the Kenya Football Federation, it was created in 1963.

[edit] Kenyan Premier League - 2006/07

Wrangles between two fractions led to a parallel league situation. One of them, Kenya Premier League (KPL), had only seven teams, but were backed by the FIFA. Remaining teams formed the KFF-PL, supported the Kenyan government. Teams affiliated to KPL were private clubs, while teams affiliated to KFF-PL were traditional community clubs (like Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards) or teams belonging to government-owned organisations.

However, in March 2007 the two leagues were finally united into a 18-team league. Two relegated teams, AFC Leopards and Shabana Kisii were not readmitted, although there were some calls for a larger 20-team league.
