Kenya Footballers Welfare Association

The Kenya Footballers Welfare Association (KEFWA) notes with serious concern the continued uncertainty surrounding the commencement of the 2026/27 FKF Premier League season arising from ongoing disputes concerning the composition of the league. KEFWA respects the legal right of every party to seek judicial redress.

KEFWA therefore calls upon all parties to pursue an expeditious and lawful resolution of the pending disputes, with due regard to the interests and rights of players as primary stakeholders in the game.

We further call for the conclusion and formalization of FKF and KEFWA MoU establishing a clear
framework for consultation, cooperation and player representation. Such an agreement is necessary to provide institutional clarity and ensure that matters affecting players are addressed through an appropriate and predictable mechanism.

KEFWA remains committed to constructive engagement with FKF and all relevant stakeholders
towards ensuring that Kenyan football operates within a framework founded on legal certainty, procedural fairness, contractual protection, good governance and respect for players' welfare.

KEFWA CEO Makori led a player engagement and registration drive at Youth FC’s training grounds, focusing on anti-doping, match-fixing and the dangers of fake agents.

Match-fixing can destroy careers and the integrity of football.

Join our Head of Administration, Victor Ashinga Ashinga on Radio Jambo, as he explains the dangers of match-fixing and how KEFWA is working to protect players.

Stay tuned.

KEFWA has successfully facilitated the return of our members, Sunday Majimbo and Brian Kabaka, from Indonesia, where they had been stranded after being lured by false promises of football opportunities abroad.

The two players were taken to Indonesia through what turned out to be a fake agency arrangement. When they approached KEFWA for help, they were also threatened by the same fake agent.

We strongly warn players against falling for fake deals and unverified agents promising opportunities abroad. In this case, the individual identified by the players is Peter Makacha, and we urge all players to be extremely cautious and avoid engaging in such suspicious arrangements.

The image of the alleged fake agent is attached below.

KEFWA is ready and will take action regarding the fake agency involved, which has negatively affected our members.

We also call upon any player in a similar situation or facing exploitation, intimidation, or suspicious transfer arrangements to reach out to KEFWA immediately for support and guidance.

We shall also be releasing:

1. Videos of the players’ return,
2.The welcome-back moment, and
3. a testimonial video from the victim,

so that fellow players can learn and remain vigilant.

Our message remains clear:
Before signing, travelling, or committing to any football opportunity abroad, consult KEFWA or Football Kenya Federation so that you are protected from fake agency.

Protecting players. Defending rights. Fighting exploitation.

Congratulations, Champions!
