In 1886 the UK gained control of East Africa. But, the British were pooling their resources for South Africa.

In 1895 East Africa became a Protectorate of the United Kingdom. In 1920, British East Africa was split into the Uganda Protectorate and the Kenya Colony. Kenya remained a colony until 1963, when they gained their independence.

Why do foreign players get chosen over british players?
They are not chosen over British players as such. Clubs choose the best players they can get. Where they come from is not important, their ability is. If a club wants to build a very strong team but only chooses players from one place, then they won't have a great team. Most soccer players are not British, so naturally a lot of non-British players get chosen. If a British player is the best a club can get for the position they are looking to fill, then the British player will of course get chosen, but not because he is British. It would be based purely on his ability.
