Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF PL) action will resume today (Friday), The Standard Sports confirmed on Thursday.

The development came barely a day before the rescheduled restart date of the domestic league which had been suspended for the second time on March 26 by the Government alongside other sporting activities due to the surge in COVID-19 infections.

Kakamega Homeboyz will take on fourth-placed Kariobangi Sharks at the Utalii grounds in Nairobi from 3pm, East African Time.

Four mouthwatering clashes are scheduled to take place on Saturday before perennial Kenya Premier League champions Gor Mahia take on Nairobi City Stars on Sunday, May 16, 2021. Sofapaka will take on Wazito the same day.

Seven FKF PL clubs on Wednesday underwent COVID-19 tests ahead of the league resumption.
