The organisation of football in Kenya is based on a hierarchical league system, which allows clubs to be promoted or relegated based on their performance. This structure is divided into several tiers, ranging from professional football to amateur football.
At the top of the hierarchy is the Kenyan Premier League, which is the highest level of Kenyan football. It comprises 18 professional clubs that compete for the title of Kenya's champion. The bottom two teams in the league at the end of the season are relegated to the National Super League, which also consists of 20 clubs. The top two teams from this division are promoted to the Premier League, while the bottom three are relegated to the Division One.
The Division One, the third tier, hosts 20 teams, mostly semi-professional. The top two teams are promoted to the National Super League, and the bottom four are relegated to the Division Two. This tier is subdivided into several groups of clubs, operating on the same principle of promotion and relegation with Division One and the Division Three.
The Division Three, the fifth tier of Kenyan football, is organised into several regional groups. It includes amateur clubs as well as reserve teams from professional outfits. Beyond Division Three, the system continues with regional and county divisions, highlighting the depth and richness of Kenyan football at all levels of competition.
