Migori Youth FC’s quest for historic promotion to the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF-PL) has suffered a major setback after they were deducted three points and two goals for fielding an ineligible player.

This decision by the Football Kenya Federation Appeals Committee (FKF-AC) follows Kabati Youth FC’s successful appeal against National Super League leaders Migori Youth, who they accused of fielding an ineligible player during their match on January 11. The case challenged an earlier decision by the FKF Leagues and Competitions Committee (LCC) to award Migori maximum points.

Before these events unfolded, Migori Youth needed just one win from their remaining two matches to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League after 36 rounds of matches.
