Kenya has appeared in five African Nations Cup tournaments, never reaching second round. The team entered its first FIFA World Cup qualification in 1974. As of 2006, they have not qualified to the finals tournament.

FIFA suspended Kenya from all football activities for three months in 2004, due to the interference of the government in football activities. The ban was reversed after the country accepted to create new statutes.^[1]

On October 25, 2006, Kenya was suspended again from international football for failing to fulfill a January 2006 agreement made to resolve recurrent problems in their football federation. FIFA announced that the suspension would be in force until the federation complies with the agreements previously reached.^[2][3]
