The FKF Premier League is set to resume on the weekend of April 6-7, 2024.

In a strategic move to prioritize national team preparations and accommodate the upcoming Four Nations Tournament in Malawi, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has announced a short break for the FKF Premier League. 

This decision, made within the FIFA window, aims to allow the national team to focus on readying themselves for the highly anticipated tournament.

Scheduled between March 18th and 26th, 2024, during the FIFA international window, the tournament promises to be a crucial platform for the senior men's national teams of Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Additionally, the hiatus will facilitate the smooth progression of the FKF Mozzart Cup matches, originally slated for the weekend of March 30-31, 2024.

By temporarily halting the league, football enthusiasts can look forward to a seamless transition as attention turns towards international duties and the exciting cup matches on the horizon.

"We believe hosting these joint tournaments will build camaraderie among our nations, provide high-level competition for our players, and elevate youth football programs across Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe," the FKF stated.
