Kenya qualifies for 2019 AFCON finals with a game to spare.

Post by Field Marshall Ogolo »

Ghana will hia wen!


For the first time in 15-years, national football team Harambee Stars, managed by Sebastien Migne, has qualified for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with a game to spare.
At the same time, Kenya’s youth teams also impressed at international assignments this year, giving fans every reason to believe there is plenty of talent for the future.
And with Stars captain Victor Wanyama enjoying limited time on the pitch owing to niggling injuries, striker Michael Olunga who plies his trade for Kashiwa Reysol, Zambia-based defender Musa Mohammed, Sweden-based winger Ovella Ochieng’, Sofapaka midfielder Dennis Odhiambo and Gor Mahia right back Philemon Otieno are some of the national team players who impressed.
The biannual Africa Cup of Nations football tournament is the continent’s premier national football team competition and Kenya’s qualification to the event, which will be staged either in Egypt or South Africa, hands Kenyan footballers a unique opportunity to showcase their talent to scouts from all over the world as they come face to face with established teams in African football, namely Cameroon, Tunisia, Morocco, Cote d'Ivoire, and Senegal.
Kenya’s qualification for the tournament was mainly aided by the team’s unbeaten run in Group ‘F’ qualifying matches in September and October.
Kenya’s good run stretched across three matches played at the Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi and Bahir Dar in Ethiopia against fancied Black Stars of Ghana, and Ethiopia.

So CAF has decided to fill up the empty spaces in the tournament abi?
2 of the finest indigenous coaches Nigeria ever had lost in a space of 4 days. Dear Lord, is this a sign that you are taking away from us what we failed to appreciate? I pray for forgiveness of our sins. I pray for the humility to recognize our wrongs and the humbleness and wisdom to right our ways.

Chief Ogolo, I know you didn't write this, but please help me ask the writer if Nigeria is NOT among the established teams.
