Kenya's oldest football club, AFC Leopards, is taking significant strides toward transforming its governance structure by sending its Corporate Task Force on a benchmarking tour of Tanzania.

The task force, established to oversee the club's transition from a society model to a corporate entity, will visit Tanzania’s Yanga FC and Simba FC, two of the most successful community clubs in East Africa.

The tour, scheduled for the end of this month, is part of the task force's broader mandate to professionalise the club and explore new business models.
