Harambee Stars name squad for CHAN qualifiers

Engin Firat has unveiled his final squad for Kenya’s upcoming 2024 Total Energies African Nations Championship (CHAN) CECAFA qualifiers, as the Harambee Stars gear up for a critical two-legged clash against South Sudan.

While Kenya has already secured automatic qualification for the 2025 CHAN tournament, which will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania from February 1-28, the national team is determined to make a strong statement in the qualifiers.

The Harambee Stars will face South Sudan in the first leg on October 27, at Juba International Stadium, with kickoff set for 3 PM. The return leg is scheduled for November 3 at 4 PM at Mandela National Stadium in Uganda.

Should Kenya triumph over South Sudan, they will advance to the final phase of the qualifiers, where they will meet the winner of the Djibouti vs Rwanda tie. The final phase is slated for December 20-27.

For the first time, CAF has granted three nations the opportunity to co-host the prestigious CHAN tournament, and with Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania securing automatic qualification, CECAFA is set to enjoy increased representation in the competition.
