The Caf Champions League second preliminary round first leg match between Kenya Police FC and Sudan giants Al Hilal on Friday has been moved from Nyayo National Stadium to Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) on Thursday said they had made the change because of the funeral service of former Prime Minister and opposition leader Raila Odinga that will be held at Nyayo Stadium on Friday.

Odinga died on India on Wednesday morning while undergoing treatment.

“The game is on and will be played from 3pm. If there will be any changes then we shall communicate,” said FKF Head of Communication Jeff Kinyanjui.

on Thursday, in last minute changes to Odinga’s send-off plans, viewing of his body was moved from Parliament Building to Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

Kenya Police qualified for the second preliminary round after eliminating Somalia’s Mogadishu City Club on away goal rule after a 3-3 aggregate deadlock in the first preliminary round in September.
