What you need to know:

  • Kenya coach Salim Babu is expected to maintain the side that surprised many with a scintillating display against Sudan in their opening match, winning 5-0 to top the group on goal difference
  • USA-based Luis Ingavi, who delivered an exceptional performance, playing a pivotal role in Kenya’s commanding victory, is expected to led the forward line that should include Adrine Kibet, his teammate at Nastic Sports Academy
  • Babu, who attributed the weekend’s sterling performance to hard work and enabling environment by the government support, said fans are yet to see the true colours of his squad


Jomo Kenyatta Stadium in Kisumu is expected to be filled to capacity when Kenya’s Junior Stars take on Rwanda in their second Group ‘A’ match of the Cecafa Under-18 Boys championship from 12 noon on Tuesday.

Fans, allowed into the stadium free of charge, will be expecting a mouthwatering clash between the two teams which began their title quest on a high note on Saturday.
