Fans have bought every ticket for the Harambee Stars' game against Gabon tomorrow at Nyayo National Stadium. This rush came after many Kenyans and the Football Kenya Federation asked people to support their national team by attending the match. The FKF thanked everyone for their amazing support and encouraged ticket buyers actually to attend and cheer loudly for the team.
The federation posted on X, asking fans to wear red, black, and green colors at the stadium. They emphasized how fan energy could help the players perform better during this important FIFA World Cup Qualifier game. Just days ago, the Harambee Stars bounced back from a two-goal deficit to tie with The Gambia at Abidjan's Alassane Ouattara stadium.
That Thursday night match stayed scoreless until halftime, thanks to Kenya's goalkeeper Ian Otieno blocking a penalty kick. Despite Kenyans' love of various sports, the country has faced challenges filling stadiums during matches. This makes the sold-out event even more remarkable for Kenyan football.
The Sunday game represents a key moment as Kenya tries to qualify for its first FIFA World Cup ever. The team currently holds fourth place in Group F with six points after playing three matches. They need to make up ground against group leaders Ivory Coast, who lead them by twelve points in the standings.
