Main Story:
Kenya’s national football team, Harambee Stars, has received a generous cash boost from President William Ruto following their impressive performance against DR Congo in the ongoing 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers.
According to a statement from State House, President Ruto honoured a prior promise by awarding Sh42 million to the team after they edged out the Congolese side. The reward is part of the government’s broader effort to motivate local talent and elevate the country’s standing in international football.
The financial incentive, State House noted, was a token of appreciation for the players’ dedication and a push to keep the momentum going. Harambee Stars’ victory over DR Congo was seen as a crucial milestone in their CHAN campaign, especially since the tournament features only home-based players, offering a platform to showcase domestic talent.
With the funds now disbursed, the team is expected to continue preparations for upcoming matches in the CHAN qualifiers. The government’s support could be the morale boost needed as Kenya seeks to make a mark on the continental stage.
