The national senior men’s football team, Harambee Stars, is the biggest sporting entity on the land despite decades of underachievement.

Often described as a sleeping giant of African football, Stars are yet to play at a Fifa World Cup but have six Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) appearances under their belt, with the side that made three finals in a row between 1988 and 1992 hailed as its best ever.
