Kenya U20 book their place at the U20 Africa Cup of Nations
A composed second-leg performance sealed qualification for the rising stars, who will face the continent's best young talent next year.
Road to qualification
Kenya's Under-20 side are heading to the U20 Africa Cup of Nations after a professional two-leg qualifying display that owed as much to discipline as to flair.
The team defended resolutely when required and struck at the key moments, with the tournament's standout midfielder running the show from deep.
Coaches described the achievement as the reward for an academy system that has quietly produced a generation of technically assured players ready for the international stage.
- Won both legs without conceding a goal
- Top scorer of the qualifying campaign came from the squad
- First appearance at the continental finals in six years
This group has been special since day one. They are not done yet.
