“This tournament offers us diversity in the opponents we shall face, especially at a time when most African nations are engaged in AFCON qualifiers,” said coach Firat, as quoted by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) website.

“Playing three matches gives me an opportunity to give more players a chance to show what they can offer," he added.

Harambee Stars players will hit camp on Monday, 5th June, 2023 to prepare for the tournament.

The team’s next competitive assignment will be the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, set to kick off between 13th November and 21st November, 2023.
