"We changed tact this time round and signed much younger players from the lower tiers, and none from the top flight. Our main aim is to develop the next crop of young talent going forward and exposing them to the national teams and the outside world."

Meanwhile, FKF on Thursday postponed two of the round one matches after the Sports Dispute Tribunal (SDT) issued an interim order of injunction suspending the decision by the FKF National Executive to nullify promotion and relegation of teams in the 2021/22 season.

FKF had last week announced that there will be no promotion nor relegation in the FKF Premier League, National Super League, Women Premier League, Men's Division One and Women's Division One leagues.

SDT arrived at the decision after APS Bomet and Kona Rangers, teams that were supposed to be promoted to FKF PL and NSL respectively, filed an application to declare the resolutions made by NEC on November 9 as null and void.

FKF said Posta Rangers vs Mathare United and Vihiga Bullets vs Wazito FC will not be played until further notice.
