FKF suspends NSL side Dimba Patriots
The decision follows a comprehensive review by the LCC, which considered all submissions related to the club's status in the league
The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has confirmed the suspension of Dimba Patriots FC from the FKF National Super League (NSL) following a ruling by the FKF Leagues and Competitions Committee (LCC).
In an official communication dated March 11, 2025, FKF General Secretary/CEO Harold Ndege stated that all 2024/2025 season fixture results involving Dimba Patriots FC have been nullified.
The decision follows a comprehensive review by the LCC, which considered all submissions related to the club’s status in the league.
Additionally, FKF has announced the reinstatement of Mwatate United FC to the FKF NSL for the 2025/2026 season.
However, their participation will be subject to full compliance with mandatory registration and club licensing requirements.
FKF has reiterated its commitment to upholding the integrity of all league competitions, ensuring that all decisions affecting the FKF Leagues are made transparently and in accordance with the federation’s statutes and rules.
This ruling marks the resolution of a long-standing dispute between Dimba Patriots FC and Mwatate United FC, bringing clarity to the FKF NSL’s competitive structure ahead of the next season.
Meanwhile, Mwatate United, a former National Super League (NSL) team, has won a legal case to be brought back to the second tier after the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) immediately suspended Dimba Patriots FC from the NSL.
Mwatate United will return to the NSL in the 2025/2026 season, but only if they meet the Club Licensing rules.
All of Dimba Patriots’ results for this season have been cancelled.
