Justice John Mativo said that the regulations that had been set by Nick Mwendwa to be null and void. FKF  communications director however said that they had not received the ruling in full and will issue a statement after they meet tomorrow.

The effect of this will be much awaited since the season is almost coming to an end. Sportspesa might have to think about recalculating and redistributing the points to the initial 16 teams that were in the premier league.
