FKF name under-20 provisional squad for friendly ties

A provisional list of 30 players, set to join camp on Sunday evening at the Sportsview Hotel in Kasarani, has been named ahead of Kenya’s under-20 friendly matches against Tanzania and Egypt in March.

This comes after a four-day selection exercise that saw 100 players have a chance to audition for a place in the team. The players were scouted from the ongoing Chapa Dimba na Safaricom Youth tournament as well as the FKF Leagues.

The team is set to play a friendly match against Tanzania, and later on in March, a two-legged friendly against Egypt.

The friendlies will be played at the newly built Bomu Stadium in Mombasa.
