'I thought I would never see my child'-Emmanuel Adebayor reflects on Togo bus attack in Angola

PHOTOS: Update of Kasarani & Nyayo National Stadia renovations ahead of January 20 CAF submission deadline
An update over the renovation status of both Nyayo & Kasarani before the January 20th deadline, when Kenya will be required to submit the stadia for final inspection ahead of the 2024 CHAN.
Elsewhere, Murang’a Seal will be looking to extend their winning streak when they visit Bidco United at the Kenyatta Stadium on Sunday.
Murang’a edged FC Talanta 1-0 last week and will aim to capitalize on Bidco’s frailty after the latter suffered a 2-0 defeat to Sofapaka in their last outing.
History will be on display in Machakos as FC Talanta, under the league’s first-ever female head coach Jackline Juma, take on Kakamega Homeboyz on Saturday evening.
Talanta’s confidence will be bolstered by their historic appointment, but they face a Homeboyz side determined to improve on their recent 1-1 draw against the in-form Kenya Police FC.
Sunday’s action also includes an eagerly anticipated derby between Mathare United and Kariobangi Sharks at Dandora Stadium.
Mathare enters the contest buoyed by a 1-0 victory over Shabana, which halted their losing streak. Sharks, on the other hand, are licking their wounds after a narrow loss to defending champions Gor Mahia. With both teams seeking consistency, the clash promises to be a tightly contested affair.
In the early Saturday fixture, Nairobi City Stars will look to recover from their 2-1 loss to Ulinzi Stars as they face struggling Posta Rangers at Machakos Stadium.
Rangers, rooted at the bottom of the table with just 11 points, are desperate to turn their season around following the dismissal of head coach Bernard Kawinzi.
Meanwhile, Ulinzi Stars will aim to build on their momentum when they face Mara Sugar at Dandora Stadium. Mara Sugar, despite sitting 10th, have impressed with their fearless style of play, most recently in a 4-3 thriller against KCB.
