Send Us A Proposal
This page is the open call for ideas. If what you have is a specific site or opportunity in a county, send it as a preliminary opportunity submission instead. Either way, nothing is promised: no funding, no transaction, no payment, and no entitlement to a commission. Send a preliminary opportunity submission.
Everything published on this site — the proposed steps, the funding ranges, the facility concepts — is a set of estimates and proposed plans. Nothing here is a procurement notice, a committed budget or an awarded contract. We publish the thinking early, in the open, so that it can be argued with and improved.
So this is an invitation. If you are part of the Kenyan diaspora, a county government, a club, a school, a contractor, a coach educator, a funding partner or simply someone with a workable idea, send us a proposal for any part of it. We are especially interested in work that aligns with the Kenya Premier League Strategic Plan 2022-2027 — its grassroots and schools programme, football business academy, club structures and governance work, and its push to get clubs and facilities established outside Nairobi.

All costs shown across this site are indicative estimates used for planning and discussion. Steps may be re-scoped, re-sequenced, merged or dropped. Coaching, player pathway and trial information on this site is general guidance only — we are not currently running trials, and no course or job is open for application yet. Submitting a proposal creates no obligation on either side.
What we are asking for
Seven areas open to proposals
Stage two — grassroots courts, leagues and coaching
Hard-court, floodlit, fenced small-sided facilities are the cheapest way to raise participation and technique, and a fixture list is what keeps players in the game. Proposals should cover land, surface specification, lighting, safeguarding, league administration, coach and referee education, and a maintenance plan that survives past year one.
Stage two — professional club facilities and licensing
A licensed club in a county needs a base before it needs a ground: training pitches, a changing pavilion, medical and gym provision, an office, and the governance and audited accounts FKF licensing asks for. Proposals for any part of the professional track, including the licensing work itself, are welcome.
Stage two — youth academies and county centres of excellence
Residential and non-residential academy models, schooling partnerships, medical cover, curriculum and safeguarding. An academy proposal has to say how the player keeps their education and how they get from the county centre into the professional club above it.
Stage two — modular stadiums in the corridor counties
Around 67% of top-flight clubs sit in Nairobi while roughly 48 million Kenyans live outside it. Demountable, right-sized stadiums in the Priority 18 are the practical answer. Tell us the county, the catchment, the build method, the grading standard and the matchday economics.
Stage three — investment, sponsorship, media and commercial
The costs and modelled surpluses on this site are published so they can be funded or argued with. We want funding proposals, sponsorship and media rights structures, diaspora funding vehicles, county co-funding and anything that turns a costed step into a financed one.
Stage four — Harambee Stars county training centres
A camp base in each corridor county: pitches to international dimensions, a residential block, medical and recovery, conditioning, so a national call-up does not mean leaving your professional club, your county side or your schooling. Proposals can cover a whole centre or one element of it.
Football business, governance and capacity
Club structures, licensing readiness, a football business academy, technology, safeguarding systems and multi-sport use of facilities. Proposals that build institutional capacity rather than one-off events are the ones that last.
