The Football Kenya Federation (abbreviated as Football Kenya or FKF) is the governing body of football in Kenya. It was founded in 2011 and was recognised by FIFA, CAF and CECAFA in 2012, replacing Football Kenya Limited. The FKF organises the Kenyan Premier League, the Kenyan Women's Premier League, FKF Division One and the Kenya national football team. It is headed by Nick Mwendwa.
On November 2011, Football Kenya Limited (FKL) was disbanded as it wanted to cease being a limited company. The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) replaced FKL, but most of the new executive positions were retained by their former occupants on FKL.
FKF was headed by Sam Nyamweya between 2011 and 2015. During this time Nyamweya was heavily linked to embezzlement of federation funds. This period of Kenyan football has been seen by the Kenyan public as a dark time with money often unavailable for use by the national team, this extended into international based players such as Victor Wanyama often having to pay for their own flights to and from international matches
In February 2016 Nick Mwendwa who ran as part of the "Team Change" took over from Nyamweya Mwendwa's plans include the changing of the KPL format to an 18 team league and re-open the long closed FIFA goal project office at the Moi International Sports Centre.
In April 2016, The ladies national team, the Harambee Starlets qualified for their first ever AFCON set to be hosted in Cameroon in 2016.
In June 2016, FKF moved its offices to FIFA goal project at Kasarani stadium.
FKF and betting company SportPesa signed a 5-year partnership in June 2016
