Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is expected to land in Nairobi this week.
Henry will be in Kenya from December 15 to 16 to conduct football training camps with four community clubs in Nairobi.
His visit is sponsored by Guiness Kenya under a programme dubbed 'Guiness Made of Black'.
"Henry will hold a football clinic for the coaches of the clubs and later advise players on how to progress in football as profession," said Nduku Wamakau, the Guinness Kenya Marketing Manager.
Nduku said the camps, which Arsenal's all-time leading goal scorer in all competitions will address, are made of upcoming players.
The budding footballers were selected from different parts of the country through a talent development programme.
"Kenya has so much talent. However, many times players miss out on the guidance and career advice that can take them to the next level. We believe this camp will be an eye-opener for the players and coaches," she added.
Tabitha Njoroge, the only female referee in the Kenya Premier League, will officiate a game in which the players are expected to showcase their skills.
