As part of restructuring, former Kenya Premier League champions AFC Leopards has co-opted Irene Karani into their National Executive Committee (NEC).

Among other duties, Ms Karani will be tasked with growing and maintaining the club’s membership as well as formulating strategies for fans and branches synergies.”
