Kenya’s National football team Harambee stars is scheduled to resume camp on Monday next week, to prepare for the African Cup of Nations clash pitting Guinea Bissau away.

With the match slated for the 23rd of March, the team under the stewardship of the new technical bench lead by Stanley Okumbi has only two weeks to prepare.

The team was named last week comprising of 36 players. According to Okumbi the squad was informed by lack of enough time to prepare and the need to include experience.

“We don’t have much time to train, so we needed to call up players who have a bit of experience at that stage” Said Okumbi

NO INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY

There will be no international friendly matches with plans to play Uganda Cranes falling apart after the new Football Kenya Federation insisting they could not host the Cranes in Kisumu because of lack of funds.

The neighbors had proposed to play the tie in Kisumu so as to acclimatize ahead of their African cup of nations match against Burkina Faso away.

However, the football Kenya federation wanted the match to be played in Nairobi insisting the visitors had to pay their own accommodation for lack of funds to host them having inherited a Ksh 170 million debt from the previous federation.

The federation and the Technical bench will be having a meetingtoday(Thursday) to come up with finer details of the stars preparations.

In the two teams last meeting in 2011, Kenya won 2-1 with the then captain Dennis Oliech, scoring in the 92nd minute to keep hope alive and sending the Nyayo national stadium Nairobi in to frenzy after scoring the winner.

Kenya is third in group E of the African cup of nations qualifiers.

The team has played two matches with 0 win, one loss and a draw, amounting to a single point. Their opponents are 4th without a win.

Congo and Zambia tie on 4 points with a single win each and a draw.
