FOOTBALL Erick ‘Marcelo’ Ouma doubtful for Harambee Stars ahead of Four Nations Tournament
Marcelo is one of two players set to miss the Four Nations Tournament in Malawi due to injuries sustained during a league match.
As one of the two venues earmarked to host matches during the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, which Kenya will co-host alongside Uganda and Tanzania, its completion is critical.
The facility's readiness by December 2025 will provide ample time for testing and preparations ahead of this prestigious tournament.
"So very confident that Talanta Sports City is on track. We have no doubt whatsoever that this project should be ready on schedule. And we have set the target of December 2025 to have this project ready and good to go. To be put to the test and that will give us about a year and a half to test it, to try it out ahead of AFCON 2027. So all is good, all is on track, quite pleased with the progress of works here," Namwamba added.
