Originally scheduled for September 2023, the Chan tournament was postponed twice — first to February and then to August — due to delays in infrastructure readiness.
Social media was abuzz on Monday with reports that Caf was unimpressed with Kenya’s progress. However, Mvurya maintained that Kenya is doing everything within its power to meet the requirements and deliver a successful tournament.
The Confederation of African Football (Caf) expressed cautious optimism over Kenya’s progress in preparing to co-host the delayed 2024 African Nations Championship (Chan) with Uganda and Tanzania from August 2 to 28.
On Tuesday, Caf Secretary General Veron Mosengo-Omba, who visited key facilities earmarked for the tournament, acknowledged that significant strides have been made since his last visit in December.
