Kudos Harambee Stars, but Afcon preparation should kick off now

Kenya’s Harambee Stars have made history by returning to the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals after a 15-year wait. This was confirmed on Friday after the Confederation’s of African Football (CAF) voted to ban Sierra Leone from taking part in the 2019 qualifiers, which means Kenya will definitely finish in the top two spots in Group F.

But while we celebrate the good job of our national team, the real work begins now as the team begins preparation to play in Africa’s biggest tournament. For Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the Ministry of Sports, it means they have their work cut out in ensuring the team gets the facilities they deserve before taking on some of Africa’s best teams.
