Kenya’s Harambee Stars will take on Zambia’s Chipolopolo in an international friendly 14th November in Nairobi.
Stars were initially scheduled to face the Amavubi of Rwanda during the FIFA window on 11th November.
Nonetheless, CAF’s Saturday announcement that the Amavubi would play Ethiopia in the 2018 CHAN playoff on the same date meant the warm-up could not materialize.
