Kenya's President William Ruto has pledged a cash bonus of 2.5 million Kenyan shillings to each player of the Harambee Stars football team if they defeat Zambia in their final Group A match of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) scheduled for Sunday at Kasarani Stadium. This promise follows an earlier reward of 1 million shillings per player, which was handed out after the team secured a quarterfinal spot by defeating Morocco twice. Additionally, President Ruto has committed to providing affordable houses to the players if they advance beyond the quarterfinals. The combined incentives could see each player earning up to 5 million shillings, including the initial and potential bonuses. The Harambee Stars are aiming to reach the CHAN quarterfinals and have been recognized by the President for their performance in the tournament.
