The Sports Disputes Tribunal has temporarily blocked the implementation of resolutions that sought to suspend Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohammed, escalating an already tense leadership dispute within Kenyan football.

In a directive issued on April 27, the tribunal certified as urgent a case filed by Ahmed Abdi Mohammed against McDonald Mariga, Robert Kenneth Macharia and 10 others, effectively freezing decisions made during an April 24 meeting until the matter is heard and determined.
