Nationwide League

The 2011 Kenyan Nationwide League began on 13 March 2011 and ended on 27 November 2011.

Muhoroni Youth's promotion was heavily questioned, as the KFF Nationwide League season was inconclusive. Former KFF chairman Mohamed Hatimy said that Muhoroni Youth's promotion was unconstitutional as the league they played in was "unknown" and that there was only one Nationwide League; that run by the FKL and any promoted teams should have come from the FKL Nationwide League.^[1]
