Afcon: Nyamweya - Harambee Stars weather preparation was very different in France

Sam Nyamweya has urged Harambee Stars to approach the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) without fear.

The Kenyan side is making a return to the competition after a 15-year absence and will face Algeria’s Desert Warriors in the opening Group C battle.

Nyamweya, who was the former Football Kenya Federation President before Nick Mwendwa took over, now says that the team should play for the 50 million Kenyans who will be watching them at the tournament set to kick off in Egypt on Friday.

“It is a moment of pride for each and every Kenyan to watch our boys parade among Africa’s best in the competition.
