The Harambee Stars camp is full of positivity as Kenya prepares to face Chad in an international friendly match on Saturday in Morocco.
According
to Second Assistant Coach Antony Kimani, the competition for starting spots is
fierce, with every player pushing hard to impress the technical bench.
This,
according to the former Kenyan international, is a signal for good times ahead
as the team prepares for African Nations Championship (CHAN) set for August.
“The mood in camp is great, and every player selected is giving their best.
“It’s
a good kind of headache for us as coaches because everyone wants to prove
themselves worthy of starting.”
Kimani
underlined that the national team remains open to all deserving players,
describing it as a "revolving door" where consistent performances at
the club level can earn a call-up.
“There’s
always room for more players to come on board. The ones currently in camp have
a golden opportunity to show the coach what they’ve got. Anyone doing well out
there will definitely catch the coach’s eye,” he added.
Among
the new faces in the camp is Bandari FC’s Beja Nyamawi, who expressed his delight
at being called up. Nyamawi, who has been putting in strong performances at
club level, sees this as a long-awaited opportunity to represent Harambee
Stars.
“I’ve
been working hard for this chance, and I’m proud to be here,” Nyamawi said.
“The
squad has a great bond, and the mood is very positive. We’re focused and ready
to deliver the desired results for our fans.”
Harambee
Stars are currently ranked 111th globally, while Les Sao are ranked 177th.
