Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: Harambee Stars need government support, Olunga pleads

Harambee Stars striker Michael Olunga has pleaded with the government to support the team after they recorded a 1-1 draw against Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Thursday.

The Kashiwa Reysol striker grabbed Kenya’s goal in the second half to cancel out Mahmoud Kahraba’s opener as the Stars managed to secure a draw in the Group G opener staged at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria.

Ahead of the match, the Kenyan government and Football Kenya Federation (FKF) were involved in a war of words with regard to unpaid bills, with the hotel in Egypt threatening to evict the national team.
