Instead they were taken on an ill advised trip to Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>They have thus missed out on what was perhaps their best opportunity to play in Africa&#8217;s premier football event.<\/p>\n<p><b>StartingXI:<\/b> Wilson Oburu (GK), David Owino, David Ochieng, Lawrence Olum, Omar Aboud, Victor Wanyama (c), Peter Opiyo, McDonald Mariga, Dennis Oliech, Francis Kahata, Edwin Lavatsa.<\/p>\n<p><b>Bench:<\/b> Jerim Onyango (GK), Jamal Mohamed, Jockins Atudo, Christian Bwamy, Allan Wanga, Paul Were, Cliff Miheso.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical Bench disbanded<\/h3>\n<p>Sam Nyamweya , the FKF Chairman has disbande the Harambee stars technical bench.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The federation has given the technical bench all the necessary support during the qualifiers but they have failed to deliver.\u00a0 We shall inform all Kenyans of the new restructuring of the entire technical bench soon &#8220;,said Nyamweya.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/kenya-knocked-out-of-afcon\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenya suffered perhaps one of the worst humiliations in its football history when they were knocked out of the 2015<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[167,103,105,72],"class_list":["post-5052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-africa-cup-of-nations","tag-david-owino","tag-edwin-lavatsa","tag-harambee-stars"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5052"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5052\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
