Harambee Stars players celebrate scoring against Namibia in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa on September 10, 2024.
Kenya played their home against Cameroon at a closed Mandela stadium. Harambee Stars could only manager one point from their two home matches.
By the time Harambee Stars lads return to Kenya later next week they have, cumulatively, logged in 17,930km in air travel this campaign.
Kenya’s Harambee Stars will on Tuesday conclude their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) Group “J” qualifiers when they host Namibia at the 46,000-seater capacity Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, Limpopo province, South Africa.
Kenyan football fans will be hoping that Harambee Stars secured a ticket to the 2025 Afcon in Morocco – a qualification campaign which is likely to be their most expensive.
