The 26-man squad comprises; 20 home based professionals and 6 foreign based. They commence camp on Saturday 19 at Golden Tulip, Nyamata.

The group H match will be played on March 26 at Anjalay Stadium, with the reverse tie happening three days later in Kigali, Rwanda.

Notable absentee in the squad is Amavubi CHAN captain Jacques Tuyisenge. The Gor Mahia forward has not kicked a ball competitively since arrival in Nairobi in February  this year.
