The World Cup: Kenya's soccer team, the Harambee Stars head coach Firat is under no illusion of the difficulty of the task ahead as his team prepares to face Gabon in their opening CAF 2026 World Cup qualifier on Thursday.

The team leaves Nairobi on Wednesday, reports Xinhua.

The Turkish coach will be leading the east African nation to their first qualifier since the nine-month international football ban slapped on the country in 2022 ended in March this year.
