Men's national association football team representing Kenya
The Kenya national football team represents Kenya in international football. It is controlled by the Football Kenya Federation, the governing body football in Kenya, and competes as a member of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA), a sub-confederation of CAF that has jurisdiction in East and Central Africa. The team is colloquially known as the Harambee Stars and plays its home games primarily at the Nyayo National Stadium in the country's capital, Nairobi. The team failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup competition.
History
Kenya has appeared in six Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, never reaching the second round. The team entered its first FIFA World Cup qualifiers in 1974. As of 2018, they have never qualified for the final tournament.
FIFA suspensions and international bans
FIFA suspended Kenya from all football activities for three months in 2004, due to the interference of the government in football activities. The ban was reversed after the country agreed to create new statutes.[3]
On 25 October 2006, Kenya was suspended again from international football for failing to fulfill a January 2006 agreement made to resolve recurrent problems in their football federation. FIFA announced that the suspension would be in force until the federation complies with the agreements previously reached.[3][4]
On 1 March 2022, Kenya, along with Zimbabwe, was suspended again from international sport due to the interference of the government. Earlier in November 2021, Nairobi and Harare dissolved their federations and were replaced with government-officials. On 31 March, the suspension was made indefinite and was ratified by FIFA. Suspension is set until Kenya and Zimbabwe meet the demands given by FIFA.
Recent history (2004–present)
Kenya qualified for the 2019 AFCON (this was their first appearance in the tournament since their appearance in the 2004 AFCON). The head coach at the time Sébastien Migné was appointed in May 2018,[5] and since his appointment Kenya has climbed back into the top 100 FIFA ranked nations.[6]
In May 2017, the Football Kenya Federation signed a 3-year partnership with kits manufacturer Mafro Sports to provide the kits for all national teams, as well as junior categories. The national team will use red jerseys for home matches, white jerseys for away matches, and green jerseys for matches played on neutral venues.[7][8]
On 8 September, Kenya earned a surprise win over four-time African champions Ghana, winning 1–0.[9]
Motivation partnership with Odibets
On the 8th of March 2021, the Football Kenya Federation President Nick Mwendwa and Odibets General Manager Dedan Mungai unveiled a historic partnership. The partnership was the first of its kind where the betting company Odibets would sponsor the Kenyan football team to prepare for five upcoming matches. The 5 million shilling motivation deal was set in place to cater for the team's wants and needs. While it was set as a continuous partnership, the initial donation of KSH 5,000,000 was made as a one time payment.[10]
