Kenya coach Sébastien Migné has urged fans to turn out in large numbers on Saturday when they take on the Black Stars in a 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifier.
The French tactician wants the 60,000-seater Kasarani stadium to buzz in deafening crescendo and fans flood the stadium to shout their voices hoarse as the Harambee Stars look to put their 2019 Afcon qualifying campaign back on track.
“In Egypt when I was with Congo, we played for the World Cup qualification and the whole stadium was full in red color. It will be interesting to see all the fans in red, even if it is 30,000 but in Kasarani we can have more. I want to see everyone in red color on Saturday,” Migné said as he rallied fans to come in behind the team.
45,000 tickets are confirmed to have been printed for the tie with no advanced sales arrangements – all the tickets are to be sold on match day.
Migné has urged fans to give his side a push in a match he says will be tough and will need all available motivation to ensure they pick maximum points.
“I know Ghana is a huge opponent and it is one of the best five teams in Africa. I saw their last games against Iceland and Japan and it will require a huge performance for us to win against them on Saturday, but we need the fans behind us,” the French tactician said.
Kenya vs Ghana kicks off at 1300 GMT.
