Props to Kenya. They are looking the strongest of the 3 hosts right now. We enter the knockout stage now where anything can happen. You can be the best team but one mistake could mean the end of the journey or you can be the worst team and one lucky strike could mean advancement.
One thing I am loving is seeing local coaches; African coaches getting the job done for all three nations. I am tired of these EA football federations paying European or Arab coaches millions only to end up losing anyway. Leave the foreign coaches at the league level. For national teams we need to promote our own to make any progress.
Yaan ushamba unawazidi🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Bado mnasafari ndefu sana.
The Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam is fitted with a modern, high-performance playing surface, installed during its recent refurbishment, and designed to meet international competition standards. Project reports indicate the use of premium hybrid grass system—natural grass reinforced with synthetic fibers
Where hybrid grass is employed, the pitch incorporates an underground irrigation system, ensuring precise moisture control without visible sprinkler heads.
Versus
Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi, features a traditional natural grass surface laid over a sand-soil base, maintained through visible pop-up sprinklers positioned around the field. While Kasarani’s natural turf provides the classic feel and aesthetic of grass, it requires higher water consumption and more frequent maintenance, whereas Benjamin Mkapa’s modern surface prioritizes resilience, reduced upkeep, and year-round playability.
Makwapa is prone to flooding, weka hapa picha za CHAN tuone. Ile ni swamp hata CAF wanajua. If that's a hybrid grass, then it's the ugliest hybrid grass in the planet. Nyasi gani hio haina hata pattern. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Kwa hivyo your Makwapa is more advanced than all modern stadiums in the world eti inatumia invisible water. 🤣 🤣 🤣 Kama sprinkler hazifanyi kubali tu, wacha silly excuses.
Kwa hivyo your Makwapa is better than Etihad Satdium, which uses sprinklers? Eeeehhhh enyewe bongolala will say anything to justify their stupidity. Kwa hivyo zile team kubwa za Europe hawana hio underground cooling ju nishawai kuona sprinklers ziki malfunction game ikiendelea. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Ebu kasome guideline
FIFA Football Stadiums Guidelines – Section 2.4.4 (Pitch Maintenance and Support Equipment)
“Sub-Section 2.4.2 noted that an irrigation system is often installed in the pitch base, and this system is now regarded as essential in terms of pitch maintenance.”
The guidelines explain that irrigation is crucial to maintain the visual quality of the turf, keep an appropriate moisture level for ball roll and player comfort, and to ensure pitch durability throughout the season.
Technical Systems & Water Management (FIFA Stadium Guidelines – Section 5.6)
“The need for pitch irrigation, particularly on matchdays (see Section 2.4), will result in large demand for water during short periods of time, such as at half-time.”
This section highlights the importance of having a reliable irrigation system and adequate water storage to meet these high, short-term demands.
FIFA Natural Turf Guidelines (2023)
“An automatic pop-up irrigation system is required or is of great benefit to the quality of the pitch in the long term.”
These guidelines also detail sprinkler positioning (90°, 180°, 360° arcs) to ensure even coverage and prevent over-watering in certain areas.

Record turnout at ‘mashemeji’ derby as stadium gate revenue hits Sh7.3m
The 96th ‘Mashemeji’ Derby between AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia at Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday witnessed one of the largest crowds in recent history.
The highly anticipated clash generated over Sh7.3 million in gate revenue, according to AFC Leopards Patron Alex Muteshi.
Leopards, the home side, donned their iconic blue and white, while Gor Mahia took to the pitch in their green and black colours.
This derby set a new record for gate collections, surpassing last year’s Sh4.5 million earnings from the same fixture at the same venue.
Tickets for the match were priced at Sh5,000 for VVIP, Sh1,000 for VIP, and Sh300 for regular seats. Fans from across the country travelled in large numbers, arriving at the stadium hours before kickoff to soak in the electrifying atmosphere.
Over 30,000 spectators, including ODM leader Raila Odinga, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, and former Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, were in attendance.
The turnout was even bigger than that seen during Kenya’s World Cup qualifier against Gabon at the same venue on March 23.
“The turnout was very impressive, and it is a good sign that Kenyan football is on the path to revival. The large crowd created an atmosphere that motivated the players to work hard and deliver high-quality football, despite both teams missing scoring chances,” said Muteshi yesterday.
Long queues stretched outside the stadium as hopeful fans, some without tickets, tried to find a way in. Limited ticket-scanning zones compounded the security challenges, leading to heightened frustration among supporters who had legally purchased their tickets.
Some fans even overwhelmed security personnel and forced their way into the stadium through one of the openings.
Inside the stadium, excitement built up long before the 4pm kickoff. The stadium’s Centre Stand was naturally divided, with Leopards supporters on one side and Gor Mahia fans on the other.
Music and entertainment kept the crowd energised, while some fans resorted to song and dance, and a few even chanted anti-government slogans—a growing trend in public gatherings.
The massive crowd also spilled into the media tribunal, an area reserved for journalists, forcing some reporters to stand throughout the match. This was a repeat of the situation during Kenya’s clash with Gabon.
Post-match celebrations continued late into the night. Popular entertainment joints in Nairobi West, including Pit Stop, Kuche Kuche, Aziz Pub, Min Pub, Tottis, Jates (Lazinos), Alaska Lounge, and K’Osewe Ronalo Foods in the city centre were packed with fans analysing the game and enjoying the derby spirit.
On the pitch, the game ended in a goalless draw, with both sides having their moments. AFC Leopards dominated the first half, while Gor Mahia controlled the second in a tactical battle that could have gone either way. Captains Lewis Bandi (AFC Leopards) and Geoffrey Ochieng’ (Gor Mahia) both acknowledged that the massive crowd provided extra motivation for the players.
For both head coaches, Fred Ambani (AFC Leopards) and Sinisa Mihic (Gor Mahia), it was their first experience of the legendary derby. Ambani, a former Leopards striker (1997-2001), emerged as a hero, as he maintained his unbeaten record against Gor Mahia. Ambani famously helped Leopards secure their last league title in 1998.
Despite some fans attempting to force their way into the stadium, the majority remained peaceful supporting their respective sides creating an electric yet safe derby atmosphere.
The match served as a grand stage for players to showcase their talent and reaffirmed the ‘Mashemeji’ Derby’s place as Kenya’s biggest football rivalry.
