Before that, two friendly matches await: against Benin on Monday, 2 March, and against Ivory Coast on Wednesday, 4 March.

Kenya has been placed in Group A, which – in addition to Kenya and Morocco – includes Algeria and Senegal. The match schedule for Jereko and Kenya is as follows:

• Tuesday, 17 March: Morocco
• ​​Friday, 20 March: Senegal
• Monday, 23 March: Algeria

Good luck at WAFCON, Jereko!
