The Kenyan Women's Premier League is the top tier women's football league in the Kenyan football league system. It is controlled by the Football Kenya Federation.
History
The first women's football league in Kenya has been created in 1985. In 2010 no league was running any more because of financial problems. UNICEF and the Kenyan government then sponsored the new league. In 2013 the sponsorship was ended, leaving the league unfinished mid-season.{{cite web|title=Harambee starlets still struggling with football 3 decades on|url=http://www.ghettoradio.co.ke/harambee-starlets-struggling-with-football-3-decades-on/|website=Ghettoradio.co.ke|access-date=5 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140224055116/http://www.ghettoradio.co.ke/harambee-starlets-struggling-with-football-3-decades-on/|archive-date=24 February 2014|url-status=dead}}{{Cite web |url=http://www.futaa.com/football/kenya/fkf-girls-premier-league/2013 |title=Kenya - FKF Girls Premier League 2013 | Futaa.com |access-date=2014-02-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140125153157/http://www.futaa.com/football/kenya/fkf-girls-premier-league/2013 |archive-date=2014-01-25 |url-status=dead }} In 2014, the league was named FKF Girls' Premier League.
