Kenya U-20 to train in Morocco ahead of 2025 Afcon finals
Football Kenya Federation president Hussein Mohamed and his Moroccan counterpart Fouzi Lekjaa pose for a photo after signing a two-year Memorandum of Understanding in Rabat, Morocco on March 8, 2025.
Kenya’s head coach, Salim Babu, remains optimistic about their chances of reaching the global competition. “We can qualify for the World Cup, provided we undergo thorough preparations,” he said.
The other groups in the tournament include hosts Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Group “A.” The second team from the Central African Football Federation’s Union (Uniffac) is yet to be determined due to FIFA’s suspension of the Republic of Congo over third-party interference.
Kenya’s Under-20 men’s football team will set up a training camp in Morocco as part of their preparations for the 2025 Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals, scheduled for April 26 to May 18 in Côte d’Ivoire.
This arrangement follows the signing of a two-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football – FRMF) on Saturday in Rabat, Morocco.
