The African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Kenya and Sierra Leone has been called off.
This is after Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) cited a suspension on Sierra Leone given by world football governing body FIFA.
“Seeing that Sierra Leone is still under suspension by FIFA, please note that the above-mentioned match will not take place,” said CAF through a statement.
They then promised to communicate the status of the group once the Executive Committee makes a final decision.
“The status of the group will be communicated later on once the competent body takes a final decision in this regards,” read the statement.
