Monday, November 28, 2022 –Football Governing body, Fédération Internationale de Football Association FIFA, has reinstated Kenya back to normal operations.
FIFA lifted the ban on Monday November 28, 2022 after FIFA President President Gianni Infantino held a series of closed-door meetings with the new Sports Cabinet Secretary, Ababu Namwamba.

Kenya was suspended in February 2022, after former Sports CS Amina Mohamed disbanded the Football Kenya Federation FKF in November 2021 and, in its place, she appointed a caretaker committee that has been running football affairs in the country.
This move would then prevent the country from participating in any international event including continental competitions like the 2023 African Cup of Nations Qualifiers, CAF confederations and Championship.
