The 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt was a tournament like no other, at least for Kenya. The national football team returned to the continental final for the first time since 2004.

A Pure Mathematics Lecturer at Jomo Kenya University of Agriculture and Technology, Dr Peter Waweru became the first Kenyan centre referee to officiate at Afcon when he officiated the Namibia and Ivory Coast. Assistant referee Gilbert Cheruiyot had a flawless outing running the lines.
