Hussein Mohammed: 5 things newly-elected FKF president must address immediately
Hussein Mohammed is the man tasked with reviving Kenyan football and the new FKF president has little time to celebrate as he needs to sort out some key things immediately.
On December 16, the new FKF boss held a high-profile meeting with FIFA president Gianni Infantino in Marrakech, Morocco.
The two discussed key aspects of football development in Kenya, including governance, infrastructure, and the promotion of women’s football.
“Yesterday in Marrakech, I had the privilege of meeting FIFA President Gianni Infantino. We discussed governance, infrastructure, and the development of Kenyan football, including women’s football," he shared.
"President Infantino assured me of FIFA’s support as we work to rebuild the sport. FIFA and FKF are also planning to establish a technical center in Kenya, which will be key for football growth. These discussions lay the groundwork for meaningful progress in Kenyan football at all levels.”
Mohammed’s ambitious agenda reflects the promises he made during his presidential campaign.
Together with his deputy, former footballer McDonald Mariga, the duo launched a groundbreaking partnership with international organizations such as Colosseo and InterSports to modernize the sport in Kenya.
Their campaign emphasized the need for upgrading sporting infrastructure, both at the national and grassroots levels.
“We are committed to building a future where our young athletes have access to the best facilities right here in Kenya,” Mohammed stated during his campaign.
The FKF president envisions a collaborative effort with global partners to bring expertise and resources to Kenya, ensuring the country's athletes are equipped to compete on the international stage.

CS Murkomen explains why the FKF-KBC deal was unsustainable for Kenyan football
KBC have not broadcasted the 2024/2025 FKFPL matches despite supposedly striking a five year deal with FKF, a deal also brokered by former CS Ababu Namwamba.
Kenyan football has faced numerous challenges in recent years, including governance issues and inadequate resources. Mohammed’s swift actions and his partnership with FIFA signal a commitment to rebuilding and elevating the sport.
The planned technical center, supported by FIFA, is expected to play a critical role in talent development, coaching, and overall football growth.
