Kenyan fans have been encouraged to buy tickets in large numbers to help push Harambee Stars during their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Gabon at Nyayo Stadium on Sunday.
Harambee Stars fans have been urged to start purchasing tickets early for Kenya’s World Cup qualifier against Gabon which will take place in Nairobi on March 23.

Harambee Stars last played a competitive match on home soil in November 2021 against Rwanda during the 2022 World Cup qualifiers and have been forced to play away from home as the country lacked an approved stadium.
But with Nyayo Stadium given permission to host the match, Kenyan fans have an opportunity to watch Benni McCarthy’s team at home during Sunday’s crunch match.
“Kenya’s Harambee Stars are back on home soil after over two years! Join us at Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday, 23rd March, from 4 PM as the Stars take on Gabon in a crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier. Let’s fill the stadium and rally behind our boys as they chase victory,” is the message from tikiti.co.ke, the online pltaform where fans can buy tickets from.
African footballers have enjoyed massive success on and off the field. While the huge perks is a reward for hard work, some of them own luxurious private jets.
