Arriving at FKF headquarters on Wednesday morning, the new Interim CEO was warmly received and welcomed by FKF staff, marking the start of a new chapter for the Federation under his leadership.
Korir, who was appointed to the interim position in light of recent changes at FKF, brings a rich background in football management and journalism.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Egerton University and over a decade of experience in the football industry, his journey spans multiple capacities, including as an IT professional, football coordinator, sports journalist, and most recently, serving as the CEO of Nairobi City Stars.
As he settled into his new role, Korir immediately met FKF staff to familiarise with the ongoing projects at the Federation with his first agenda focusing on maintaining operational continuity within FKF.
He further reassured the FKF staff of his commitment to fostering teamwork and driving the Federation forward amid the upcoming FKF elections and key footballing events, including the U20 AFCON CECAFA Qualifiers, Junior Starlets participation in the upcoming FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup, Harambee Stars’ 2025 AFCON Qualifiers and all ongoing domestic leagues.
“I am thrilled to take on this responsibility at such a pivotal time for Kenyan football. My goal is to ensure smooth operations while fostering growth and development across all levels of the sport in Kenya,” expressed Korir.
As the interim leader, Korir’s immediate focus will be to ensure FKF’s operations continue seamlessly while laying the groundwork for future initiatives aimed at strengthening football structures in Kenya.
