CAF CHAN 2024 payout structure
Kenya still have one more group game and they will be aiming to secure the right to host their quarterfinal clash on home soil when they face Zambia on Sunday, August 17.
Despite already booking their place in the quarterfinals, Kenya must defeat Zambia to finish as Group A leaders.
This will allow them to host their quarterfinal match against either Madagascar or Mauritania, the likely runners-up in Group B.
Should Kenya lose to Zambia, and either DR Congo or Morocco win their match, the Harambee Stars could drop to second place.
