Kenya was banned from international football in October

Fifa will rule on whether to readmit Kenya into international football when its Associations Committee meets on 31 January.

The announcement followed a consultative meeting in Zurich Monday between a delegation of Kenyan football officials and Fifa chaired by Jerome Champagne, the Special Delegate to Fifa President Sepp Blatter.

During the meeting, described as a positive step towards the normalisation of football in Kenya, Fifa warned that government interference in the running of Kenyan football may jeopardise the country's immediate return to the international fold.

Fifa, however, renewed its encouragement to all Kenyan clubs to register with the Fifa-recognised leadership of the Kenya Football Federation (KFF) by the 21 January deadline.
