Kenya To Play Ghana Friendly For Nigeria Return Leg

 

Harambee Stars have lined up a friendly match against Ghana on June 1, four days before they host Nigeria in a crucial 2014 World Cup qualifier in Nairobi.

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) chairman Sam Nyamweya has confirmed that the plans to host the match against Ghana in Nairobi are complete and the Ghana Football Federation has already accepted the request.

The Black Stars will use the match to prepare for their World Cup qualifying tie against Sudan on June 8.

“We are happy to secure a friendly match for the national team against Ghana. This is will be a big match because Ghana is among the top football nations in Africa,” Nyamweya said. In recent years, Ghana has opted to set camp in either Nairobi or Naivasha whenever they are playing within East Africa or Southern Africa region.

Yobo I am Disappointed In You---Keshi

 

Current AFCON  and Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has expressed serious disappointment in captain Joseph Yobo over his recent outburst about his exclusion from the squad that played 1-1 draw with the Harambee Stars of Kenya in Calabar a fortnight ago in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

The Super Eagles Captain, Mr Joseph Yobo former Olympique said in an interview he granted Brila FM on Tuesday morning that he deserves some measure of respect from the Coach Steven Keshi.
Keshi who was shocked at that interview granted by his skipper  told Complete Sports that he is still an integral part of the team despite the emergence of the duo of Kenneth Omeruo and Godfrey Oboabona in the team's central defence.

"I'm disappointed with such reaction from Yobo on his exclusion from the team that played Kenya," began the ex- Mali boss.

"Would he have preferred me bringing him down to put him on the bench for the game and disrupt the chemistry the duo of Kenneth and Godfrey have been forming in recent times? How do you think Nigerians would react if I alter such solid partnership?, " he queried rhetorically.
