President Uhuru Kenyatta has promised to support the men’s national football team, Harambee Stars in their preparations for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) slated for June 15 to July 11.
Kenya booked a ticket to the continental showpiece after the Confederation of African Football (Caf) confirmed that Sierra Leone was disqualified from the qualifiers last Friday following an Extraordinary Executive Committee meeting in Accra, Ghana.

The Caf Executive Committee’s decision left Group “F” with three teams with Kenya sitting pretty atop on seven points, one ahead of second-placed Ghana. Ethiopia is bottom with a point having forfeited their 1-0 victory over Sierra Leone in September.
“Congratulations Harambee Stars for qualifying for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations,” the President posted on his official Facebook page on Monday. “I assure you of my support and that of the Government to facilitate and provide you with the necessary resources to ensure you are well prepared for the task ahead,” he added.
