The beginning of the season was hampered by the failure of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) to reach an agreement over the running of the top division in Kenyan football. Following a proposal from the FKF to expand the league to 18 teams, it formed a parallel FKF Premier League after talks with the KPL fell through over the running and composition of the Kenyan top flight for the 2015 season. Existing KPL clubs refused to take part in the FKF Premier League and instead pledged to remain in the KPL. 3 Kenyan Premier League crisis League expansion proposal and stalemate in talks Towards the end of the 2014 season, the FKF proposed that the Premier League should be expanded to 18 teams from 16 for the upcoming season, though KPL management insisted that the 2015 season would continue with 16 teams.http://www.futaa.com/football/article/fkf-gags-debate-on-18-team-league FKF gags debate on 18-team league 28 November 2014 Kevin Teya Futaa.com 21 February 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20141231173437/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/fkf-gags-debate-on-18-team-league 31 December 2014 dead This followed previous concern shown by the KPL Executive Committee over the way FKF had interfered with decisions made regarding Premier League teams over the last 2 years.http://www.futaa.com/football/article/kpl-raps-fkf-on-unilateral-decision-making https://web.archive.org/web/20141112202528/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/kpl-raps-fkf-on-unilateral-decision-making dead 12 November 2014 KPL raps FKF on unilateral decision making 30 October 2014 Dan Ngulu Futaa.com 21 February 2015 Reasons given by the KPL for the opposition of the expansion of the league included the national team needing more time for friendlies and competitive matches to increase the nation's FIFA World Ranking, as well as an increased risk of injury to Premier League players – especially since only very few clubs have medical insurance to cover costs of the rehabilitation of players – further undermining the performance of the national team.http://www.futaa.com/football/article/kpl-says-no-to-18-team-league KPL says no to 18-team league 25 November 2014 Kevin Teya Futaa.com 21 February 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150221122339/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/kpl-says-no-to-18-team-league 21 February 2015 dead However, in a statement released on 25 November 2014, the FKF insisted that the decision to expand the league was "final and irreversible".http://www.futaa.com/football/article/fkf-decision-on-18--team-kpl-is-final-and-irreversible FKF: Decision on 18 - Team KPL is 'final and irreversible' 25 November 2014 Kevin Teya Futaa.com 21 February 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20141128045019/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/fkf-decision-on-18--team-kpl-is-final-and-irreversible 28 November 2014 dead dmy-all On 4 December 2014, Hassan Wario, the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Culture and the Arts, voiced his support for the retention of a 16-team Premier League, quoted saying: "The KPL is here to stay.
