Fifa is not taking action against the KFF, for now

There had been threats that Fifa would suspend the KFF after the country's High Court found in favour of a group of officials not recognised by football's world governing body.

Fifa's Executive Committee has been meeting in Australia but the Kenya situation was not on the official agenda, and was not discussed.

Mohammed Hatimy, who's authority is recognised by Fifa, was in Sydney for the meeting.

The lack of action clears the way for Kenya to kick-off their campaign with an away match against Namibia this weekend.

A source at Fifa told the BBC that as long as the team was being organised by the Hatimy-run KFF, they would be free to play.

The Kenya Football Federation has been riven by divisions for years.

At one stage, two separate leagues were being organised.
