Kenya’s Harambee Stars saw their hopes of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations dashed after a disappointing 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe. Despite thier emphatic equalizer to level the score , the team failed to maintain composure, succumbing to pressure for a draw.
The result is a sobering reminder of the shortcomings in coaching, with questionable tactics and uninspired gameplay leaving fans frustrated.
Under the stewardship of Nick Mwendwa’s Football Kenya Federation (FKF), Kenyan football has been marred by mismanagement and controversy. From delayed elections to corruption allegations, FKF has failed to create an environment conducive to nurturing talent and achieving competitive success.
The appointment of an underperforming coach and lack of structural planning further highlight the federation’s ineptitude.
This latest failure has sparked an outcry among fans and stakeholders, demanding comprehensive reforms to revamp Kenyan football. A strategic overhaul of FKF leadership and investment in grassroots development are critical to restoring the nation’s footballing pride.
Without these changes, the Harambee Stars risk remaining perennial underachievers on the continental stage.
