These players have done the case for Chan selection no wrong and even onwards to the main national team that is deep in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Kenya’s Harambee Stars just need a draw in their final group match against hosts Zanzibar at Gombani Stadium Friday from 7pm to qualify for the final of the Mapinduzi Cup.
The hosts are likely to face their toughest test as the cruising Harambee Stars look to secure a top two finish in the round robin format to enter the finalplay for glory on January 13.
