Afcon-bound Rising Stars jet back home, call for exposure
Kenya Under 20 players pose for a photo after their arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on October 21, 2022 from Tanzania where they took part in the Cecafa U20 regional qualifiers.
Evans Achoki, the Secretary of Administration for Sports in the Ministry of Sports, congratulated the team for giving a good account in the tournament.
He said Sports Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen will on Tuesday morning host the team for breakfast at Talanta Plaza.
Kenya Under-20 football team’s coach Salim Babu is confident that the side will achieve remarkable success in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) U20, provided they receive high-level training and exposure.
Babu reckoned that it would be invaluable if the Rising Stars pitch camp in a country with a higher football standard than Kenya ahead of the tournament.
