Matano desperately holding onto champions league dream

Tusker FC head coach Robert Matano remains positive that his team will get a chance to represent the country in the CAF Champions League with just three weeks left before the window for submitting clubs’ names elapses.In the guidelines issued by CAF, FA’s have until 31st July to submit the names of teams that will represent the country in continental club competitions that will commence in September.##NAJAVA_MECA_6498825##Kenya’s scenario is unique, the country is currently under FIFA suspension for government interference and thus just like the nation, clubs are banished from featuring in CAF competitions.This suspension affects Vihiga Queens who will miss the CAF Women Champions League qualifiers in Tanzania, Tusker who are the men’s league winners, and all the national teams both senior and junior.Despite what looks like a hopeless situation, the veteran tactician is positive and believes that something positive can happen between now and the deadline day.”We are looking forward to some positive news. Hopefully, the wrangling parties will reach an amicable solution. My players worked extremely hard to secure a chance to represent the country, so we hope that we will be able to play,” Matano whose side resumed training last week told the Star.He maintains that his team will continue preparing as they wait for some positive news.“We will just train and prepare regardless of the situation. You never know what might happen next.”Sharks duo among new players training with Tusker
