Kenyan football has a date with destiny today. The future of the beautiful game in the country rests with the 92 delegates trooping to the ballot box to elect the next president and vice president of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF).

After a long hiatus, push and pull among football stakeholders, the delegates' verdict will give a new mandate to the elected FKF officials and task them with restoring lost glory to Kenyan football. For nearly two years, FKF officials have faced increased criticism and faulted for not calling elections.
