- Harambee Stars host first international match in over four years
- Full house expected as FKF confirms tickets are sold out
- High-stakes battle as Kenya and Gabon chase 2026 World Cup dreams
Kenya’s long wait is finally over. At 4 PM today, the Harambee Stars will step onto home turf for a competitive international fixture—something that hasn’t happened in over four years.
A Homecoming Like No Other
For years, Kenya has been forced to play “home” matches in Uganda and South Africa, with local stadiums failing to meet CAF and FIFA standards. But today, the deafening roar of Kenyan fans will fill the air as the Stars take their rightful place on home soil.
This game comes hot on the heels of Kenya’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Gambia, while Gabon cruised to a 3-0 victory over Seychelles. With both sides gunning for a spot at the 2026 World Cup, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Unmatched Fan Support
The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) pulled out all the stops to ensure a packed stadium, rolling out an aggressive ticketing campaign via tiki ti.co.ke and a USSD system for easy access. The result? A sold-out stadium!
By Saturday evening, FKF President Hussein Mohamed confirmed that every ticket had been snapped up.
“ALL TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT! Thank you, patriots, for this amazing achievement. If you missed out, catch the game live on KBC. Gates open at 11 AM—mapema ndio best!” he posted on X.
Aubameyang vs. Kenya’s Harambee Stars
Gabon arrives with a squad led by the legendary Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, posing a serious test for Engin Firat’s men. But with home advantage and the full backing of a fired-up Kenyan crowd, Harambee Stars are ready to make a statement.
The atmosphere will be electric, the stakes are massive, and for those lucky enough to secure tickets, this is a moment in history. Kenya is back on the big stage, and the journey to the 2026 World Cup is well and truly on!
