Two perennial problems haunting Kenyan football

Last few weeks, two problems that have stuck on Kenyan football like hungry tick came to the fore. The first is romours that CAF had opted to transfer 2025 Chan hosting rights to Rwanda. Kenya is expected to host the continental show for African-based players with Uganda and Tanzania in February 2025. It is meant to be a precursor to 2027 Afcon that the three East African countries will stage.

CAF later denied making such a decision insisting that Kenya has been given time to complete stadium renovation in good time. History teaches us that it will take a miracle for Moi International Sports Centre - Kasarani and Nyayo National Stadium to be completed before February. Twice we got the honours for hosting continental tournaments, and twice we let the chance go.
