Musician Iyanii to light up Kasarani as Harambee Stars face Seychelles
By Joel Masibo, September 9, 2025The Football Kenya Federation has announced that local musician Ian Oure, alias Iyanii, will be the guest performer at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers Group F match between Harambee Stars and Seychelles at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, on Tuesday, September 9, 2025.
In a desperate move to woo football enthusiasts back to Kasarani after Friday, September 5, 2025. 3-1 defeat to The Gambia before the home crowd, the country’s football governing body has come up with creative means to maintain thousands of fans that have been thronging Kasarani during the just concluded African Nations Championship (CHAN 2024), among them live performances by local artists.
”All roads lead to Kasarani tomorrow! Kenya vs Seychelles at 4:00 pm. And guess what? Iyanii will be on stage to turn up the vibes.” FKF said on Monday, September 8, 2025.
At the same time, FKF has confirmed setting aside special areas to accommodate Persons with Disabilities in Harambee Stars’ matches at the Kasarani Stadium, starting with the Seychelles match going forward. Unlike previously, PWDS will now enjoy basic facilities typically reserved for VVIP and VIP dignitaries at the Kasarani Stadium.
”Persons with Disabilities (PWDS) are welcome to attend tomorrow’s Kenya vs Seychelles match at Kasarani, as well as future games. Designated seating is available at Sections 5 & 13 (with ramps), car access for PWDS is through Gates 6 & 12, & VIP/VVIP lifts are also accessible.” FKF said in a statement on Monday, September 8, 2025.
Separately, Football Kenya Federation President Hussein Mohammed has called upon football enthusiasts in the country to come out in their numbers and support the Harambee Stars as the home team on Tuesday.
In his statement on Monday, September 7, 2025, Mohammed has asked the country’s football community to stick together amid the national team’s dreams of playing at the forthcoming World Cup, which hit a snag.
”In recent months, the team has united Kenyans in pride and passion, reminding us what is possible when we come together under one flag. Tomorrow’s clash against Seychelles is not only another step in the World Cup qualifiers but also our last opportunity in a while to enjoy home support.” He added. I urge all Kenyans to fill the stands, rally behind the boys, and give them the strength that only our unity can provide.” Hussein Mohammed said.
