KickStartKenyaFootball — Our Youth. Our Plan. Our Football.A proud independent partner in Kenyan football. KickStartKenyaFootball is an open, costed plan for building football in Kenya from the grassroots up: five-a-side courts and pitches in all 47 counties, eighteen licensed professional clubs, county academies, and a national training base for Harambee Stars. Every figure on the site is tied to a published source with the date it was last read.We cover Kenyan football history and the Hall of Fame of every Kenyan professional; the county map from Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Uasin Gishu to the smallest county; Harambee Stars fixtures, results and the FIFA world ranking; the FKF Premier League; what the game contributes to Kenya's economy; and the law that governs sport in Kenya. Nairobi is the base, Kenya is the plan, and East Africa and the wider African game are the measure we hold it against.
