The Kenyan Federation has announced that the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Cameroon will be played behind closed doors at Mandela National Stadium in Namboole.
The decision means that Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana will not have the support of Ugandan fans, who were vocal in their support for Cameroon during their match against Zimbabwe.
Harambee Stars head coach Engin Firat expressed disappointment over the low turnout of Kenyan supporters for their opening qualifier against Zimbabwe.
