Harambee Stars to Host Gambia in World Cup Qualifier at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
The Harambee Stars will return to home ground next month for two big 2026 World Cup Qualifier matches.
FIFA has confirmed that both games will be played at the Moi International Sports Centre in Kasarani.
Kenya will face The Gambia on September 5 in what is expected to be a tough clash.
Four days later, on September 9, the Stars will meet Seychelles at the same venue.
This is a huge boost because it will be the first time in years that Kenya plays World Cup qualifiers at home.
Fans are expected to turn out in large numbers to support the team.
Kenya’s Current Position in the CHAN Competition
The Harambee Stars sit fourth in Group F with six points. Ivory Coast leads the group with 16 points.
Kenya must collect maximum points if they hope to stay in the race for the 2026 World Cup.
The Harambee Stars Gambia match will be key in boosting their chances.
Head coach Benni McCarthy, who recently took charge of the team, will be leading the Stars in these qualifiers.
He impressed fans during the CHAN 2024 tournament, and many are eager to see if he can push Kenya closer to World Cup qualification.
Other Matches in Nairobi
On September 9, Nyayo Stadium will also host another qualifier between The Gambia and Burundi.
This means Nairobi will be buzzing with football action as both Kasarani and Nyayo welcome international teams.
The Harambee Stars know they must take advantage of playing at home.
Winning against The Gambia and Seychelles would give them a much-needed lift in the group standings.
