CHAI! KENYA STRIPPED OF CHAN HOSTING RIGHTS

[anointed]

Kenya and football should never be used in the same sentence. They probably thought it was gonna be a cross country steeplechase event. When I warned Ogolo, the best his folks could do was place the goalposts on the tracks. Kenya sef. Also lost 1996 AFCON hosting rights to South Africa. What a unique double. Ordinary CHAN. Chai

BREAKING: Kenya stripped of 2018 CHAN hosting rights

Published September 23, 2017


Kenya were stripped Saturday of the right to host the 2018 African Nations Championship after a CAF executive committee meeting in Accra.

The decision was announced at a media conference after a one-day meeting of the African football “cabinet” headed by president Ahmad Ahmad from Madagascar.

Slow preparations for the January 12/February 4 tournament led to a decision widely anticipated for several weeks.

A CAF inspection team departed Kenya in September to report that only one of the four venues was ready to stage the tournament restricted to home-based footballers.




Some CAF officials in Accra also expressed concern about the political situation in Kenya, where recently annulled presidential elections are set to be rerun late October.

It is the second time the regional economic powerhouse has lost the right to stage a CAF competition after being replaced by South Africa as 1996 Africa Cup of Nations hosts.

Kenya would have been the second successive east African country to stage the CHAN after Rwanda in 2016.

Other hosts since the 2009 inception of the Nations Championship were the Ivory Coast, Sudan and South Africa.

There has been media speculation that Morocco or South Africa may replace Kenya.

Angola, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Sudan, Uganda and Zambia have qualified for the 2018 finals.

Kenya completed the line-up as the host nation — a position they now forfeit.

Kenya was trying to ride on the coattails of tiny Rwanda's successful 2016 tournament.

What is so confusing to you?

CAN is AFCON and is ANC
ANC is CAN or AFCON
CAF runs ANC, CAN, or AFCON, CHAN and many others.
It does not run WAFU, UNAF, UNIFFAC, COSAFA or CECAFA
CAN is ANC or AFCON.
