Harambee Stars will take on Morocco today afternoon in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) tournament at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
The Kenya men’s national football team kicked off the tournament with historic 1-0 win over DR Congo on Sunday.
In their subsequent clash with Angola on Thursday ended in a 1-1 raw.
Coach Benni McCarthy who is optimistic they will conquer Morocco said the rival is “Probably the strongest team in this group, but also in the competition,”.
Adding; “They are a very unpredictable team. Their league, I think, speaks for itself – very competitive, and one of the best in Africa, who have lots of quality be it locally or internationally”.
