Ahead Afcon 2019: Eagles friendly won’t help Kenya’s confidence–KFF

Kenya Football Federation (KFF) has revealed that a friendly against the Super Eagles may affect the confidence of its national team, Harambee Stars who are returning to the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt after a 15-year absence.

Towards this end, the FA is considering playing Madagascar, Uganda or Ivory Coast in France where they would be camped before traveling to Egypt in June.

“Playing away in Abuja or Tunis with the probability of a heavy defeat just before the tournament starts may not help the team’s confidence,” an FA source told Nairobi News.

“Then the proposed dates for these matches are too close to the tournament and there is that possibility of getting injuries. You also have to factor in the weather.”

According to reports, Harambee Stars head coach. Sebastian Migne is expected to name his 30-man squad for the French camp this week.
