André Onana’s return to Uganda is uncertain, as the Football Federation of Kenya has reportedly reached out to the management of Amahoro Stadium in Rwanda to host their upcoming encounter with Cameroon for the 2025 AFCON qualifiers next month.
Reports from Kenya indicate concerns that Ugandan fans may support Cameroon over Kenya due to the presence of Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana.
Earlier this month, when Cameroon faced Zimbabwe in an “away” fixture at Namboole Stadium, Ugandan Manchester United fans created a party-like atmosphere in support of Onana, who was the main attraction.
Supporters wearing Manchester United kits were seen jumping, cheering, and waving Red Devils flags, doing their best to make Onana feel welcome throughout the match.
Even after the game concluded and Onana was leaving the stadium with his team, there was a commotion among fans.
Given this background, it’s understandable why Kenya has decided against hosting the game in Uganda. Earlier this month, Kenya hosted its first 2025 AFCON qualifier against Zimbabwe at Namboole Stadium, and the stadium management is open to allowing them to host another match at the newly renovated facility.
