Kenya calls off football friendly with Tanzania

Kenya’s football federation has cancelled a friendly match against Tanzania that was scheduled to be played on Thursday in the capital, Nairobi.

Coach Jacob Mulee, in a morning radio show, said the match was called off following the death of Tanzania’s President John Magufuli.

He did not indicate if it had been postponed to a later day.

The friendly match was part of Kenya’s preparation for Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches against Egypt and Togo scheduled for later this month.
