Harambee Stars will still face Tanzania, Uganda and Senegal in Arusha, but the original fixture schedule has been changed due to an unexpected hiccup.
Kenya’s matches in the upcoming CECAFA Four Nations Tournament have been rescheduled following a last-minute change prompted by logistical issues affecting Senegal, the current African Nations Championship (CHAN) holders.
The announcement was made by the Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA) on Sunday, July 20, just a day before the tournament’s kickoff at Karatu Stadium in Arusha.
