A youthful Harambee Stars side will face Lesotho in an international friendly at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, Pretoria, from 4 pm (Kenyan time) in South Africa, with head coach Benni McCarthy using the match to test new faces ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The friendly comes at a key moment for Kenya as the national team begins preparations for the qualifiers set to start in September.
Despite having qualified for the 2027 Afcon as co-hosts, Harambee Stars are expected to use the qualifiers and friendly matches to build a stronger squad capable of competing against Africa’s top nations.
