The Kenya national u15 team is through to the finals of the ongoing CECAFA u15 championships in Asmara, Eritrea. Kenya dismissed Rwanda in 4-1 in post-match penalties after the semifinal match had ended 1-1 all draw.

Kevin Wangaya got Kenya ahead in the 45th minute but the ten-man Junior Stars, who had midfielder Rajab Umar sent off in the second half, fell to an equalizer by Sultan Sibomana in the 75th minute, consequently taking the match to spot-kicks.
