FKF Vice-President Doris Petra has said that the federation's vision is having unified Kenya Women Premier League next season if they get sponsors on board.
The just concluded term was different as the league was split into two zones – A and B.
According to Petra, financial challenges and the lack of sponsors led to the splitting of the league.
She said, “We want to trim down the league so that we have one league and that will depend on finances which we will discuss with the teams, because most of the financial burden is carried by the them."
"It is our wish to have one league so that at the end of the season we don’t have another competition like playoffs for merging the two zones,” added Petra.
The FKF Vice-president also said that the Covid-19 pandemic hindered the federation's efforts to rope in a sponsor.
Petra pointed out, “If not for Covid-19 we could now be having a sponsor for the two national leagues but we hope to have a sponsor on board next season.”
She added that Covid-19 and finances have been the two major challenges in the league.
“We appreciate the clubs for keeping the girls playing, year in year out, is something to be proud of,” Petra said.
The league ended on Sunday with Thika Queens becoming the new champions after a 3-0 victory against Gaspo Women the final played at ASK Showground in Nakuru.
