mookhNAIROBI, Kenya- Regular tickets to Sunday's landmark Kariobangi Sharks FC versus Everton FC international friendly at the MISC Kasarani Stadium are flying off the retail booths with three days to the landmark showdown.

The opening of the ticket sales on Monday marked the final countdown to the contest where the 2019 SportPesa Cup champions will host the nine-time English league winners who resumed pre-season training on the same days with vendors reporting roaring business.

The Blues are scheduled to jet in Nairobi on Saturday for the eagerly-anticipated clash that has been the talk of town since it was officially announced in May and local football fans have shown their eagerness to be part of the momentous occasion by snapping up the tickets as the D-Day looms.

The regular tickets costing KSh100 went on sale at various SportPesa kiosks and selected shopping malls on Monday morning with fans keen on witnessing the historic first ever visit of an English Premier League team to play in Kenya at the 60,000-seater amphitheatre of Kenyan sport.

Unlikely event

Everton ambassadors, Steven Pienaar and Leon Osman arrived in Nairobi on Wednesday as part of the beehive of activity in the lead up to the game that is a highlight of the country's sporting calendar.

The Blues will be making their second tour to East Africa following their groundbreaking visit to neighbouring Tanzania where they beat SportPesa Premier League champions, Gor Mahia FC 2-1 at a packed National Main Stadium in Dar-es-Salaam on July 13, 2017.

The two sides met again in October last year at Goodison Park where Everton raced to a 4-0 victory in what marked the last game in charge of the record 17-time Kenyan league winners' English head coach, Dylan Kerr, successful spell at the club.

Sharks won the rights to play Everton when they sunk SPL rivals Bandari FC 1-0 on January 27 at the Main Stadium in Dar to lift the 2019 SportPesa Cup for only the second ever silverware in their history.

The 2017 SportPesa Shield Cup holders resumed training for Everton over a fortnight ago, cutting their post-season break short to get in shape for what will be the biggest game since the club was founded in 2000.
