Nairobi — Even before a case at the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) over Football Kenya Federation's (FKF) decision to end the season is heard and determined, the Kenya Premier League (KPL) management will convene a Governing Council meeting next week to draw out a plan for football resumption.

KPL went to the Tribunal after FKF's decision to call an end to the season and declare Gor Mahia champions over the COVID-19 pandemic which has halted football all over the world.

"A KPL Governing Council meeting will be convened next week depending on the new measures that the Government will announce to curb the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic following the lapse of the 21-day nationwide curfew and cessation of movements in certain counties and local administrative areas on Saturday," KPL said in a statement on Thursday afternoon.

KPL passed down the responsibility of paying referees to clubs while they are yet to pay out the league winning prize money to Gor Mahia for their triumph last season.

On Wednesday, FKF boss Nick Mwendwa announced they will be waiting for government directives before announcing a roadmap for return to football in anticipation for next season.
