Dennis Gicheru Appointed Acting FKF General Secretary and CEO
Nairobi, Kenya — February 6, 2026 | Updated October 9, 2026
Football Kenya Federation (FKF) appointed Dennis Gicheru as Acting General Secretary and Chief Executive Officer in February 2026, replacing Harold Ndege. The appointment was reported as an interim measure while the federation planned to recruit a substantive office-holder.
What the role involves
The General Secretary leads the federation’s secretariat and day-to-day administration. The role connects FKF’s executive decisions with competitions, member clubs, regional branches and football bodies.
Before the appointment, Gicheru was FKF’s Head of Legal Affairs. He has also worked in football management, including as chief executive of Wazito FC. Those roles give him experience in legal and club administration, though the acting title does not by itself establish how long he will remain in the position.
Current status
As of October 9, 2026, FKF’s official leadership page continues to list Gicheru as Acting Secretary General and CEO, with his tenure beginning in 2026. The page does not announce a permanent appointment. Readers should check FKF’s official updates for any later recruitment or leadership decision.
