On December 17, 2019, Harambee Stars suffered its worst defeat of the year, being eliminated from the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup.

The team's 4-1 loss to lowly Eritrea in the semi-finals at the StarTimes Stadium in Kampala was a shocking outcome.

Ulinzi Stars forward Oscar Wamalwa scored an own goal in the opening half, giving Eritrea the lead.

Abel Solomon made it 2-0 for the Red Sea Boys seven minutes after the break.

Kenya failed to defend its regional football title, and will now await the loser of the final match between Uganda and Tanzania to determine which team finishes third and fourth in the tournament.
