Kenya is set to host three high-profile 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches, barely a week after concluding the month-long African Nations Championships (CHAN). With the CHAN final set to conclude on Saturday, August 30 at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani, the venue, which hosted all of Kenya's group games, will be the home of other fixtures as nations battle to qualify for the World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
As per the schedule on FIFA's official portal, Harambee Stars will kick off the next phase of their World Cup qualifying campaign against The Gambia on Friday, September 5 at the Kasarani Stadium.
The match kicks off at 4pm, but the time is subject to change depending on other factors. On Tuesday, September 9, four days later, Kenya will be at the Kasarani Stadium once again, facing off against Seychelles in another afternoon match at 4pm.
