The **Kenyan Nationwide League** was the second-division football league in [Kenya](/source/Kenya), until it was replaced by [FKF Division One](/source/FKF_Division_One). There is promotion and relegation with the [Kenyan Premier League](/source/Kenyan_Premier_League) and the [Kenyan Provincial League](/source/Kenyan_Provincial_League).

## History

In 2008 Nationwide league was divided into two zones with 16 teams each. In 2009 the league was again structured to contain two levels, *Nationwide League Division One* and *Nationwide League Division Two*, representing the second and third levels of Kenyan league system respectively. *Nationwide League Division One* has one zone (16 teams) and *Nationwide League Division Two* has two zones.[1] The leagues were later renamed after the league's governing bodies. Division One was renamed the *[FKL](/source/Football_Kenya_Limited) Nationwide League* and Division Two became the *[KFF](/source/Kenya_Football_Federation) Nationwide League*. Following the merger of the two rival Football governing bodies, Football Kenya and Kenya Football Federation into "Football Kenya Federation", the two leagues are to be merged into A single "Kenya National Division One", divided into two 16 team zones, each promoting one team into the [Kenyan Premier League](/source/Kenyan_Premier_League).[2] Both leagues became [defunct](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Defunct) after the 2011 season and were joined to make [FKF Division One](/source/FKF_Division_One).
