NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 24 – Despite seeing four of its stadia fail to meet the required standards of staging matches in a continental tournament, CAF first Vice-President Suketu Patel has given assurance that Kenya will still host the 2018 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN).

Patel who led a delegation from CAF said they will prepare a report on what they have seen and release it in 10 days which will assist Kenya to host the continental showpiece that is open to only home based players.

“We will have the report in 10 days which will be presented to the Local Organising Committee to guide them. We have seen extreme goodwill of Football Kenya Federation to host best CHAN ever. I want to state that the only country in CAF mind to host CHAN next year is Kenya so it is up to Kenya to deliver. I would like to end that speculation that Kenya will not host,” Patel said.
