Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: Coronavirus directive puts Kenya vs Comoros in doubt

The Kenyan government has issued another warning about sports activities involving Kenyan teams, which puts the country's Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier against Comoros in doubt owing to the coronavirus.

While Football Kenya Federation (FKF) confirmed on Tuesday they had written to Caf to postpone the fixture slated for March 25 in Nairobi, the government has now issued another directive which bars Kenyan teams from travelling for away matches.

“Following the global outbreak of the COVID 19 virus, the government has put in place measures to deal with the situation to safeguard the public and the country at large,” confirmed the statement signed by Sports PS Joe Okudo and obtained by Goal.
