Harambee Stars Preparations Poor

Kenya's national soccer team the Harambee Stars has performed gallantly over the last few years despite the financial nightmares it has had to undergo. It has steadily maintained a decent run of results. These are tough times for the team and many are the times when players have been forced to go without allowances and tickets. Even when we have sown little, we have reaped more and the Stars have made our team the top soccer team in East Africa.

Despite all setbacks the team still nurses hopes of qualifying for the forthcoming African Cup of Nations. After battling soccer powerhouse Morocco and Guinea, the Stars are set to play African champions Tunisia.

The Tunisians are not leaving anything to chance and they have started international buildup matches. For the Harambee Stars the tough life continues and they have to struggle with scanty preparations. The national team will have to play their buildup matches with local clubs. They have not yet been able to get the money required to help them travel and play proper buildup matches with other national teams. It is time the KFF took this issue seriously and ensured that the Harambee Stars play quality build up matches as they get ready for the big game against Tunisia.
