Harambee Stars have officially withdrawn from the upcoming CECAFA Four Nations Tournament scheduled in Tanzania.
The decision follows a comprehensive assessment and recommendations from Kenya's national team technical bench, led by Head Coach Benni McCarthy.
After evaluating the prevailing conditions and considering their impact on team readiness and overall preparation, the coaching staff concluded that participating in the tournament was not in the best interest of the team's development at this stage.
Consequently, the team will be returning to Kenya to intensify training and focus on their preparations for the upcoming TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024.
