Kenya's Karate national team coach, John Owiti Namulo, has announced a 40-member provisional squad for the Africa Senior Karate Championship set to take place in Rabat, Morocco in February next year.
The selection process was based on merit, with performances at the Kenya National Clubs Karate Championship held at Watamu Sports Centre early this month being a key factor.
According to Namulo, the team will start training on December 3, with a break for the festive season on December 20. Residential training is expected to commence on January 8, next year, with only 16 players set to travel to Morocco for the Africa Championship.
The continental championship will serve as a qualifying event for the World Karate Championship to be held in Paris in May, with all medallists earning a spot.
The provisional squad includes Daniel Aura (Club Moja), Joseph Kamau, and 37 other talented karateka.
