African championships an opportunity for local players to prove themselves

With Kenya’s hope of qualifying for next year’s World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations hanging in the balance after falling 1-0 to Mozambique in Maputo on September 6, participating in the African Nations Championships (CHAN) will be a good opportunity for the country to redeem her seemingly dented image in the sport.

Besides entering a formidable team in the continental event, local tacticians should use the chance to identify good home-based players to be considered for call-up in the national team for subsequent international assignments.
