Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga has commended the significant progress made in the FKF Premier League this season, describing the competition as one of the most competitive and exciting campaigns in recent years.
The Kenyan international praised the increased prize money awarded to the league champions, noting that the KES 15 million reward represents a major step forward for local football.
Olunga highlighted the importance of rewarding success, saying that improved financial incentives can motivate clubs to invest more in their teams and raise the overall standard of competition.
He also applauded FC Leopards for their strong challenge in the title race, which kept the championship battle alive deep into the season and added excitement for fans across the country.
“The season is a long journey. We have to motivate teams to compete better and better,” said Olunga.
The striker further urged football stakeholders to consider increasing rewards not only for the champions but also for runners-up and other top-performing clubs, arguing that broader financial support would encourage greater competitiveness throughout the league.
According to Olunga, continued investment from the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and corporate sponsors will play a crucial role in strengthening the league and enhancing the quality of Kenyan football.
As the FKF Premier League continues to attract more attention and investment, Olunga believes the positive developments witnessed this season provide a strong foundation for the future growth of the game in Kenya.
