Coronavirus: FKF announce KPL suspension

The federation has taken the move as a measure to help curb the spread of Covid-19 after one case was reported in the country

The Kenyan Premier League will be suspended indefinitely from Monday as a response to the first confirmed case of coronavirus in Kenya, the Football Kenya Federation confirmed on Friday.

The weekend's fixtures will take place as planned, behind closed doors, but future games will not take place until further notice.

The Shield Cup and National Super League matches scheduled for this weekend will go ahead as planned despite coronavirus fears, while lower league football has been suspended and pre-match handshakes have been banned.
