In a separate development, Football Kenya Federation is embroiled in a leadership crisis that threatens Kenya's ability to co-host the Africa Cup of Nations in 2027. Meanwhile, Kenyan boxing referees are gaining international recognition with two receiving accolades from World Boxing and the International Boxing Association, while one achieved a significant promotion. Additionally, the Motorsports Kenya Federation has officially launched, presiding over its first event, the second round of the 2026 Kenya National Autocross series at Stoni Athi on Sunday.
