The fallout from the recently abandoned promotion-relegation playoff has taken a new turn after Kariobangi Sharks and Mombasa United were summoned to appear before the FKF Leagues and Competitions Committee.
The two clubs have been directed to send two representatives each to a hearing scheduled for Friday, October 9, at Weston Hotel in Nairobi, starting at 10am.
The hearing comes as the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) seeks to address the circumstances surrounding the abandonment of the crucial playoff, which had significant implications for the battle between the Kenyan Premier League and the National Super League.
The fixture was expected to determine a key outcome in the promotion-relegation equation, but its abandonment has left the fate of the two clubs and the competition’s final outcome hanging in the balance.
Both Kariobangi Sharks and Mombasa United will now have an opportunity to present their sides of the story before the FKF Leagues and Competitions Committee as the federation moves towards resolving the matter.
The hearing could have major consequences for the promotion and relegation picture, with the possibility of further disciplinary or sporting decisions depending on the committee’s findings.
The latest development has heightened attention around the playoff, with supporters of both clubs waiting to see whether the abandoned fixture will be replayed or whether the committee will arrive at an alternative decision.
FKF is expected to consider the circumstances that led to the abandonment before determining the next course of action in a promotion-relegation battle that remains unresolved.
