After the end of the group stage matches in the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN), Kenya topped arguably Group A, which was seen as the most competitive of all.
This means that Harambee Stars, which could potentially face neighbouring Tanzania’s Taifa Stars will now face Madagascar.
This also means Tanzania will meet Morocco in the quarter finals of CHAN, having topped their group.
While there was a lot of banter around the two countries meeting and alongside many other aspects of the ongoing games co-hosted by Kenya-Uganda-Tanzania, the tiff between has continued to grow.
In the banter, Tanzanians have seen themselves as superior to Kenya, having had an easy run in their group B games. They hoped to meet Kenya in the quarterfinals.
At the beginning of the tournament, the president of Tanzanian football club Yanga, Hersi Said, while speaking to the media said he pitied Harambee Stars who were in the group famously referred to as the ‘Group of death’ in football terms.
He wished Kenya well, saying that Tanzania was in a safe pool and they were going to give their best.
