AFC Leopards forward Sydney Lokale aims to make amends to the disastrous performance Harambee Stars had in the 2019 CHAN qualifiers when the team takes on South Sudan on October 27.
Lokale was part of the Stars team that was eliminated by Tanzania 4-1 on post-match penalties following barren draws in the first and second legs. The former Nakuru All Stars player hopes to find the back of the net and inspire Stars to a big win over the Bright Stars if he is included in the team.

“I still have bad memories of the last CHAN qualifiers we played. We lost a game we would have won in a convincing way. I am working hard to be drafted in the team and ultimately help the team build-up for the tournament well,” he told Sports boom.
The former KCB man believes that good performances in the CHAN will earn him minutes in next year's World Cup qualifiers. "I am sure good performances in the CHAN qualifiers and tournament will come in handy in my quest for playing time in the senior team, especially in bigger assignments,” he added.
The 2024 CHAN tournament will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania from February 1-28, 2025, marking the first time in CAF history that a tournament is jointly hosted by three nations.
