Kenya Faces Zimbabwe in AFCON Qualifier

Harambee Stars of Kenya face a must-win situation against Zimbabwe in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier on Friday, needing a victory to keep their qualification hopes alive. Currently third in Group J with four points, Kenya must also rely on favorable results from other matches, particularly hoping Cameroon can defeat Zimbabwe in their next encounter. Engin Firat's team has struggled recently, with back-to-back defeats to Cameroon, while Zimbabwe sits second with eight points and only needs a draw to secure their spot at AFCON. The match will take place at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in South Africa and will be broadcast live on KBC TV and Azam Sports. Historical data shows Kenya has a favorable record against Zimbabwe, having lost only once in their last 12 encounters. This clash is critical for both teams as they seek to improve their standings and qualify for the tournament in Morocco.
