Uniting Through the Game: Kenyan Diaspora Football League Kicks Off in Chicago

The city of Chicago welcomed the launch of the Kenyan Diaspora Football League (KDFL)—a dynamic new soccer league bringing together Kenyan teams from across the United States. This exciting league celebrates Kenya’s deep football heritage and aims to foster community, fitness, and national pride through the beautiful game.

With teams representing cities such as Dallas, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Boston, and Los Angeles, the KDFL is more than just a competition—it’s a movement. It creates a structured platform for Kenyan youth and adult players in the diaspora to showcase their talent, develop skills, and build lasting connections.

League highlights include:

  • Regular season matches hosted in Chicago with rotating venues throughout the Midwest

  • Youth and adult divisions for male and female teams

  • Opening weekend kickoff festival with Kenyan food, live DJ, and cultural performances

  • Player development programs including coaching clinics and wellness workshops

  • End-of-season championship match followed by an award ceremony and cultural gala

Whether you're on the pitch or in the stands, the KDFL delivers high-level football action infused with the spirit of home. It’s where athleticism meets culture—and every match is a win for the Kenyan community.
