In Summary


  • Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong’o and his Kakamega counterpart Fernandes Barasa said this in their view is a tragic decision.
  • "Western Kenya should have been included with either matches being held in Kisumu or Kakamega."

Governors from two counties in Western Kenya raised questions and concerns over the venues for hosting the Africa Cup of Nations in the three East African countries in 2027.

Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong’o and his Kakamega counterpart Fernandes Barasa said this in their view is a tragic decision.

"Western Kenya should have been included with either matches being held in Kisumu or Kakamega," they said.

The governors said the Western region is where football fans exist in plenitude and not in Uashin Gishu, or Eldoret for that matter.
