Kenya are only three points away from making a dramatic return to the AFCON after a barren draw against Ethiopia at the Bahir Dar stadium on Wednesday.

Harambee Stars now only need one win against the Walya Antelopes on Sunday to all but secure qualification to the showpiece event in Cameroon next year.

With the draw leapfrogged Ghana in Group F to claim first sport.

Achesa, on his Twitter handle, called upon all football lovers to come out in large numbers on Sunday to support the national team.

“I call upon all football enthusiasts to come out in large numbers and join us in cheering on Harambee Stars this Sunday at the Kasarani Stadium in their return leg match against Ethiopia in the #AFCON2019 qualifiers match. #SimamaNaHarambeeStars,” he tweeted.

He also congratulated the team for the barren draw managed against Ethiopia.

“Congratulations to Harambee Stars on a game well played against Ethiopia in the #AFCON2019 qualifiers,” he said.
