Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has today appointed Nairobi City Stars Chief Executive Officer Patrick Korir as the new Interim FKF CEO replacing Barry Otieno, who resigned from the position. Korir will take over his new role on interim basis immediately.

In a statement, FKF announced that Barry Otieno had tendered his resignation from the federation after years of dedicated service and wished him well in his future engagements.

Korir brings to the FKF, a wealth of experience in Kenyan football, having served as a journalist, football coordinator, and, most recently, as the CEO of Nairobi City Stars.

“His (Korir) in-depth understanding of the sport, combined with his management expertise, ensures he will quickly integrate into his new role, minimizing any disruption to FKF’s operations,” FKF announced.

In a letter seen by Kenya Online News, Barry Otieno resigned immediately as the FKF CEO saying that he has decided to step down to focus on new opportunities.

The Federation expressed gratitude for Barry’s contributions and dedication in developing football in Kenya. Barry will work closely with the FKF team to ensure a smooth and seamless transition of leadership, guaranteeing that ongoing projects and key activities continue without interruption during the period of change.

“The FKF remains committed to its mission of growing football at all levels and assures 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 help steer the Federation toward even greater success.” FKF noted.
