Harambee Stars session

The Kenya National team, Harambee Stars is set to continue with preparation for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

The sessions are set to continue this week with more players expected to join the camp this week.

Kenya play Burundi on June 7, 2024, before facing the reigning Africa Cup of Nations winners, Ivory Coast, on June 11, 2024.

Ahead of the crucial matches, the team shall tentatively depart for Malawi on June 2, 2024.

Despite being the home team, Harambee Stars shall play both matches at the Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe.

This move has been occasioned by the unavailability of the Nyayo National Stadium and the Kasarani Stadium, the only stadiums in Kenya provisionally approved by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to host international matches.

Both are under renovation ahead of the 2024 African Nations Championships (CHAN) and the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which Kenya shall jointly co-host alongside Tanzania and Uganda.
