Kenya is using Mapinduzi Cup as part of their preparations for the African Nations Championship (Chan) that will be co-hosted by the three East African nations from February 1 to 28.
“The mood in the camp is upbeat, with players showing a strong sense of camaraderie and determination,” said Kimanzi.
AFC Leopards precocious attacking midfielder Kelly Madada has made the final 26-strong Harambee Stars squad set to leave Nairobi Thursday for the annual Mapinduzi Cup in Zanzibar.
The draw for the six-nation tournament is out with Kenya opening their account against Burundi on Monday. The inclusion of the 19-year-old Madada follows his recent sterling performance in the Kenyan Premier League (FKF-PL).
