Friday night’s 2019 African Cup of Nations draw in Cairo, Egypt, has generated different reactions in Kenya and the continent at large.

And with national team Harambee Stars having been drawn in Group C alongside pre-tournament favourites Senegal for the third time (1990 and 2004), Algeria and neighbouring Tanzania in what appears to be a relatively fair group, there is a sense of belief across the country that Sebastian Migne’s side is likely to pull off some upsets in the tournament.
