Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy is preparing for an emotional clash against his home country after Kenya was drawn with South Africa in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The draw held in Cairo on Tuesday placed Kenya in Group D together with South Africa, Guinea and Eritrea in what promises to be one of the most competitive pools of the campaign.
For McCarthy, the fixture against Bafana Bafana carries special meaning. The former striker remains South Africa’s all-time leading scorer and is regarded as one of the country’s greatest footballers. He will now lead Kenya against the nation where he made his name as a player.
