Afcon 2019: Harambee Stars deserve support despite early elimination - Mike Sonko

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has vowed to support the national football team Harambee Stars despite their early elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

Sonko said he will make the newly-renovated Dandora Stadium available to the Harambee Stars for training purposes ahead of the African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier against Tanzania next month.

The 12,000 capacity facility is set for launch in August by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“Despite the early elimination of Harambee Stars at the ongoing Afcon tournament in Egypt, we should not lose focus on the development of sports in the country.
