Football Kenya Federation has appointed Parick Korir, a long-term football administrator, as interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immediately.

In a statement to newsrooms on Tuesday FKF announced that Korir replaces Barry Otieno, who resigned after a five-year service.

“Patrick brings a wealth of experience in Kenyan football, having served as a journalist, football coordinator, and most recently, as CEO of Nairobi City Stars. His in-depth understanding of the sport, coupled with his management expertise, ensures that he will quickly integrate into his new role, allowing for minimal disruption to FKF's operations," the federation said in a statement.

"The FKF remains committed to its mission of growing football at all levels and assures its stakeholders that all scheduled activities and programs will proceed as planned. We believe that Patrick Korir will play a pivotal role in this transition and will help steer the Federation toward greater success."

Before his appointment at FKF, Korir served in the same capacity at Kenyan Premier League Club, Nairobi City Stars.
