What you need to know:

  • It was only last month that FKF Chief Executive Officer Barry Otieno made public that the federation had extended Firat’s contract for three years up to 2026
  • Harambee Stars was last in action on November 15, 2021 when they beat neighbours Rwanda 2-1 at Nyayo National Stadium in a Group 'E' 2022 World Cup qualifier
  • It was CS Amina’s decision to replace FKF with a Caretaker Committee that led to Kenya’s suspension by Fifa from all its football activities on February 24 last year

After more than one year of inactivity, Harambee Stars are set to return to action in March with two friendly matches against Burundi. 

According to Football Kenya Federation (FKF), the matches will be played in Nairobi on March 25 and 28.
