FIFA has suspended Kenya and Zimbabwe for government interference, as per Gianni Infantino, the president of the world football governing body.
This was uncovered during a press conference on Thursday.
Kenya’s Ministry of Sports in November 2021, suspended the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and selected a caretaker committee to assume responsibility for soccer exercises in the country.
In Zimbabwe, the country’s federation was additionally suspended by the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) in November 2021.
“We had to suspend two of our members; Kenya and Zimbabwe, both for government interference in the activities of football associations. The associations are suspended with immediate effect,” Infantino said.
“They know what needs to be done for them to be readmitted or for their suspensions to be lifted.”
