In a landmark ruling on December 5, 2025, the Kenya Sports Ethics Tribunal (News #322) suspended a national federation for 2 years for systemic gender discrimination—failing to pay female players, denying maternity leave, and excluding women from leadership. The Tribunal ordered full backpay, policy overhaul, and 50% female board representation. Equality isn’t a favor—it’s the law, said Justice (Rtd) Martha Koome. The case sets binding precedent; 7 other federations are now under review. FIFA praised Kenya’s unflinching commitment to fairness.
