Kenya National soccer team Harambee Stars will play Zambia’s Chipopolo in an International friendly match mid next month.
The match will be played at a venue to be disclosed later in the country, on the 14th of next month. Harambee Stars was set to play Rwanda on the 11th of November, but it has been confirmed the Rwandese National soccer team will be engaged elsewhere.
“The National Football Team Harambee Stars was scheduled to play Rwanda on November 11, 2017 in an international friendly. However, following Egypt’s withdrawal from the upcoming CHAN tournament, CAF has instructed that Rwanda play Ethiopia in a play-off with the winner taking up Egypt’s slot,” reads a brief from Kenya Football Federation (FKF).
“In light of the aforementioned, Harambee Stars will not be able to play Rwanda and will now play Zambia in Kenya, on November 14, 2017 at a venue to be confirmed.”
Stars Coach Sternly Okumbi will be seeking to register a win in the match against Zambia, after losing 2-1 to Iraq and 1-0 to Thailand respectively in the last friendly matches played in early October.
