On Monday, October 16 beginning at 7 PM (EAT), the national football team, Harambee Stars, will play Russia in a historic friendly match at the Titanic Sports Complex in Antalya, Turkey.
The friendly game is a part of Harambee Stars’ pre-tournament training for the forthcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which will begin in November. The head coach of the Harambee Stars, Engin Firat, expressed optimism before the match against Russia, the hosts of the 2018 World Cup. The head coach stated that he anticipates a strong performance from his men in the friendly match.
