Harambee Stars fans will miss out on the action between Kenya and Cameroon over confusion between rights holders and state broadcasters.
Kenyan fans will not be watching the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Harambee Stars and Cameroon on Friday evening.
This is because state broadcaster KBC secured free-to-air rights for the match, after full payment, but could not access the signal, leaving fans in the dark when they had hoped to catch the action live.
KBC had earlier announced through their website that the match would be aired live on TV and across six radio stations on Thursday but on matchday, they were not able to access the signal .

Harambee Stars coach on why he called up Ronney Onyango amid Gor Mahia disciplinary woes, reason behind benching Patrick Matasi
Firat has explained why he called up Ronney Onyango to the national team amid his disciplinary woes at Gor Mahia, also clarifying why he benched Patrick Matasi against Zimbabwe and Namibia last September.
Togo-based firm New World TV are the rights holders for the qualifiers but are reported to have had problems with the signal which left state broadcasters on the continent in a difficult position.
The development created a state of confusion among fans especially given South African national broadcaster SABC confirmed to their viewers that the match between Bafana Bafana and Congo will be live on the channel.
It therefore means Kenyan fans will not catch the action live on a free-to-air channel and will have to rely on other platforms.
Harambee Stars are set for a major test against the Indomitable Lions at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaoundé where the hosts are under pressure to deliver a positive result,
Both teams are tied on four points from their first two games with Kenya on top owing to a superior goal difference, meaning Friday’s match and the return leg in Kampala on Monday are crucial for both teams in their qualification journey.
