Afcon 2021 qualifiers kenya vs comoros clash in doubt over coronavirus

The highly anticipated 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Kenya and Comoros is in jeopardy due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The match, scheduled to take place on November 12, 2020, is at risk of being postponed or even cancelled due to the growing concerns about the spread of the virus.

According to reports, the Kenyan Football Federation (KFF) has written to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) expressing their concerns about the match going ahead as planned. The KFF has cited the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Kenya, as well as the country's strict lockdown measures, as reasons for their concerns.

Comoros, on the other hand, has also expressed their concerns about the match, citing the difficulty in traveling to Kenya due to the pandemic. The Comoros Football Federation (FCF) has reportedly written to CAF requesting a postponement of the match.

CAF has yet to make a decision on the matter, but it is likely that the match will be postponed or rescheduled for a later date. This would be the second AFCON qualifier to be affected by the pandemic, following the postponement of the match between South Africa and Sudan earlier this month.

The AFCON qualifiers are crucial for both Kenya and Comoros, as they aim to qualify for the tournament, which is scheduled to take place in Cameroon from January 9 to February 6, 2022. The match is also a crucial one for Kenya, as they aim to bounce back from a disappointing 2020, which saw them fail to qualify for the AFCON tournament.

The situation is being closely monitored, and a decision is expected to be made in the coming days.
