For the Stars, this is now about building confidence ahead of upcoming assignments and improving their FIFA rankings.
Morale remains high in camp after their run to the quarter-finals of CHAN 2024, and McCarthy is pleased to have most of that squad available, making his team selection much easier than in March, when Kenya also faced The Gambia.
Back then, the South African coach was still finding his footing, yet his side came from two goals down to draw 3-3. This time, with a clearer understanding of his players’ strengths and weaknesses, he aims to deliver more.
Stay tuned here for live updates from Kasarani.
