Harambee Stars are set to be thrown out of a hotel in Cairo for non-payment of hotel bill ahead of their AFCON 2021 qualifier against Egypt tomorrow.

A livid FKF President Nick Mwendwa has told Standard Sports he has been given two-hours to settle the bill or the team is thrown out.

“The team is out training at the moment but we have received a call to the effect Harambee Stars will be shut out of the team hotel. We don’t know what we will do should the hotel go ahead and effect the threat,” Mwendwa said.

“Sports Ministry had promised they will settle the bills directly, but to our surprise, nothing has been done,” he said.

Harambee Stars are putting up at the Africana Hotel in Alexandria, Egypt.

 Rooney Oyando, who is with the team in Cairo, said the team may not be allowed to leave the hotel for the game at the Borg El Arab Stadium if they will not have paid a dime.
