But the  country managed to defend their WAFU trophy on home soil.<\/p>\n<p>However, the loquacious Coach  believe hosting the CHAN tournament can be the only way we can maintain this crop of talented players in our league since there is no pending competition for the players.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;The government should help us host the tournament for these boys to exhibit their talent. Look at the way the whole country is happy. Let&#8217;s host it , win again and keep the country going &#8221; he said <\/p>\n<p>Adding that, &#8220;&#8230;There will be money. The country will get foreign exchange. Hosting will help a lot. <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8230;There will be sales at the stadium to boost sales and the business. Apart from the players, hosting it too will help the economy&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Kenya lost the right to host the CHAN competition after it was discovered by CAF that the country is not adequately prepared for the tournament. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was decided to withdraw the hosting rights of the (CHAN) competition from Kenya in the light of accumulated delays from reports of the various inspection missions conducted in the country,&#8221; a CAF statement said<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: -1 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Monday, 25 September 2017 Source: Prince Botwe 2017-09-25 Coach Isaac Opeele Boateng &#13; Former Tema Youth Coach Isaac Opeele Boateng is pleading with the Minister of Sports , Hon Isaac Asiamah to bid for the 2018 CHAN competition.
