Quarter-final
Winning goal scored in sixth period of extra time.

Fifth to eighth place
The match was suspended due to darkness after 40 minutes of extra time, ending in a 1–1 draw; Australia was initially awarded the match by a coin toss, but after an appeal by Kenya, the match was declared a draw and a replay was ordered.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Germany was unable to play in the match against Kenya, so the match was scratched and both teams were awarded seventh place.

Sailing
Three Kenyan sailors competed in two different disciplines in the Olympic Regatta in Naples.

Shooting
Three shooters represented Kenya in 1960.
