Chances of Kenya hosting the 2018 African Championship (CHAN) have been thrown into a spin after Meru Governor Peter Munya told the national government to keep off construction of Kinoru Stadium, one of the venues earmarked for the continental event.

During a high-level CAF inspection tour led by Omari Selemani from Democratic Republic of Congo, FKF President Nick Mwendwa said the national government would embark on the second phase of construction.
