Two Kenyan footballers have been handed a 365-year suspension each after being found guilty of double registration in a disciplinary ruling.
The decision follows investigations into player eligibility involving Santos Hotspurs, Nairobi FC, and Kirinyaga Stars.
The case centered on allegations that two players were registered under different identities at separate clubs.
Investigators established that Bernard Oelle, who featured for Santos Hotspurs, was also registered as Maira Oelle at Nairobi FC.
Findings show that he was first registered at Nairobi FC before appearing for Santos Hotspurs under a different name.
In a separate but related finding, Nganga Ebrahim of Santos Hotspurs was also registered as Ebrahim Hassan at Kirinyaga Stars.
Records indicate that he was first registered at Kirinyaga Stars in 2020 before his subsequent registration elsewhere.
Following the findings, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) delivered its verdict on the matter.
Fortune Kinderen was awarded the win on a 3-point, 2-0 goal basis as a result of the breach of registration rules.
Additionally, the players Bernard Oelle and Nganga Ebrahim were each suspended for 365 years for double registration, effectively barring them from participating in organized football activities under the governing body’s jurisdiction.
