One view, every county

The National Rollup

Every county's recommended programme totalled in one view: players reached, land needed, capex, opex and the revenue it could earn. The eighteen counties prioritised for the professional game are totalled separately from all forty-seven, because they answer different questions.

Know a site, a cost or a number we should publish?

Land nobody is using, a school field, a county ground, a real build cost, a grassroots project worth following. Send it in and we will add it to the research with a source.

Everything here is independent football research. Figures are estimates built from published sources and are for study and discussion, not professional advice.

KickStartKenyaFootball is an independent football research, heritage, development and opportunity-discovery platform, run from Nairobi. It is not the governing body of football in Kenya.

KickStartKenyaFootball is based in Nairobi and Kenyan law applies to it. Where a Kenyan company is registered to carry the work, it is published on the governance page with its number and the date it was registered; where nothing is published there, nothing is held.

KickStartKenyaFootball performs no work requiring a Kenyan licence, registration or practising certificate that it does not hold. Any Kenyan registration held is published on this page with its number and the date it was granted; none is recorded here at present. Estate agency, valuation, legal advice, survey, planning, design, costing, construction, environmental assessment, investment advice, handling money, insurance, recruitment and player representation are referred to an independent professional or business holding the required Kenyan registration, licence or approval.

These pages and any dealings with KickStartKenyaFootball are governed by Kenyan law. A dispute that cannot be settled between us goes to arbitration seated in Nairobi under the Arbitration Act 1995, administered by the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration, before a single arbitrator, in English. That does not remove your statutory or consumer rights, and it does not stop either of us using the small claims court where the claim belongs there.
