24 hours before the match, the very bad news falls for the fans for the return match
The Kenyan Football Federation has requested that the return match of the fourth day of qualifying for CAN 2025 take place behind closed doors in Kampala.
In principle, the Harambee Stars of Kenya should welcome the Indomitable Lions for the second leg of qualifying for the Morocco 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. After the first match in Yaoundé, which took place this Friday in the presence of the public, the Indomitable Lions could face Kenya on neutral ground, without spectators.
Coach Engin Firat spoke of security concerns: “ Firstly, when Zimbabwe played there against Cameroon, there were many security problems. You saw what happened with the goalkeeper Onana… Secondly, you observed the support they (Cameroon) received in Uganda, so there is no reason to favor them “, declared the Kenyan coach to Ole Teya.
It is therefore obvious that Kenya's technical management fears a disadvantage due to the large number of supporters in the stands, given the popularity of Cameroonian goalkeeper André Onana in Uganda.
