Harambee Stars Beat Morocco 1-0 to Qualify for CHAN 2024 Quarterfinals - August 2025

Kenya's Harambee Stars secured a 1-0 victory over Morocco's Atlas Lions in a CHAN 2024 Group A clash at Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani on August 10, 2025, ending a 10-year dry spell against them. This win ensured Kenya's qualification for the quarterfinals of the tournament. However, due to severe safety and security breaches leading to overcrowding during the Morocco game, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) suspended ticket sales for all future fixtures at the stadium. This suspension affects the upcoming CHAN 2024 match between Kenya's Harambee Stars and Zambia's Chipolopolo. Defender Sylvester Owino has emerged as a pillar in the Harambee Stars backline during the ongoing African Nations Championship. A story title also states that President Ruto offered Sh2.5m for the team's clash against Zambia.
