NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 15 – The national football team Harambee Stars’ hopes of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations were dimmed after settling for a 1-1 draw away to Zimbabwe on Friday.

The result left Kenya with mission impossible ahead of the final match on Tuesday, November 19 against Namibia that will now be a dead rubber game, after Zimbabwe gathered nine points, four ahead of Harambee Stars.

The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon had already qualified after beating Kenya back-to-back and now play Zimbabwe in the final match.
