Plans are at an advanced stage for Left Foot Sports to launch a Division Two league in Mombasa.

This comes after a successful launch of the Division One league last year. Left Foot Sports Managing Director Aman Bhasin said the Division Two league would begin in April.

“Last year, we successfully launched Division One league that attracted over nine teams. We are expecting the league to have 15 teams this season,” said Bhasin.

“We have also completed plans to launch Division Two league in April and I am confident it will also be a success.

“We also want to spread our wings to Kisumu. We will launch a league there in September.”

Bhasin also said the Nairobi season would begin on February 24 with two Divisions – One and Two. The other three Divisions will kick-off at a later date.
