History is about to be written as curtains fall on the 39th edition of the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos County today. If you are an Harambee Stars or Zanzibar Heroes fan, brace yourself for an epic encounter at 3pm. The two sides will be meeting in a highly anticipated ?nal for the second time in less than a week with stakes high.

 While hosts Kenya will be out to prove their prowess by reclaiming the title they last won in 2013, the Heroes will be aiming to lift their ?rst regional title in 26 years. The two teams battled to barren draw in a Group A showdown at the same venue last Saturday before both of them beat their respective semi-?nals opponents to set up a ?nal rematch.
