Harambee Stars kick-off their campaign against Burkina Faso on Saturday.
The Kenya national football team, Harambee Stars, has touched down on Pemba Island, Zanzibar, in anticipation of the inaugural Mapinduzi Cup, which kicks off on Friday.
The team, under the guidance of newly appointed head coach Francis Kimanzi, has been gearing up for the tournament with an eye on both glory and preparation for the upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN) in February.
Stars began their journey with a 40-man provisional squad in camp in Nairobi. Following intense preparations, Coach Kimanzi has finalized a 24-man squad, which he believes is ready to bring home the title.
The tournament offers a golden opportunity for Kimanzi to fine-tune his strategies and find the right balance for his "new-look" team.
The team is set to kick off their campaign on Saturday with a high-stakes match against Burkina Faso.
The second group stage match will pit them against Tanzania's Kilimanjaro Stars on Tuesday, followed by a concluding group game against hosts Zanzibar on Friday, January 12.
The format of the tournament will see the top two teams from the group stage advance to the final, scheduled for Monday, January 16.
The competition is not only a chance for silverware but also a critical test ahead of CHAN.
The 24-man squad
Goalkeepers: Byrne Odhiambo, Faruk Shikalo, Sepstanious Wekesa.
Defenders: Sylvester Owino, Hanif Wesonga, Alphonce Omija, Brian Okoth, Abud Omar, Siraj Mohammed, Ronney Onyango, Daniel Sakari.
