What you need to know:

  • Harambee Stars are unable to play at Moi International Sports Center, Kasarani, and Nyayo National Stadiums, which are undergoing renovation. Kasarani will host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, while Nyayo is preparing to host Africa Nations Championship (Chan) which has tentatively been set for September this year.

Football fans in the country have called on the government and well-wishers to sponsor them for the national men's football team's 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers in Malawi. 

Through the Kenya Football Fans Federation (Kefofa), the fans said they want to support Harambee Stars when they play Burundi on June 7 and Cote d’Ivoire on June 11 at Mbingu Mutharika Stadium, Lilongwe.
