Kenya desperately need this victory to kickstart their quest for 2026 World Cup appearance.
Harambee Stars head coach Engin Firat has warned his charges not to underestimate Seychelles, who are considered the minnows of Group F when both sides clash on Monday evening in a clash set to take place on a neutral ground in Ivory Coast.
Seychelles were absolutely battered and ruined to shreds by Ivory Coast, losing 9-0 on Friday night.

The Greece-based forward is among the notable absentees from the Harambee Stars squad for 2024 WAFCON qualifier.

“The group is not easy as there are no underdogs experience. You see Gambia lost to Burundi. It is not so simple,” Firat said as quoted by Nation Sport.
The Turkish tactician predicts that everything will be open in the end, which will be seen in the last round of matches in 2025.

STARS ABROAD Bad news for Michael Olunga? Scottish-based Kenyan striker nearing return after long-term injury
Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat could soon have some competition for captain Michael Olunga as the St Mirren striker is close to making first-team return after ACL injury
Firat attributed Kenya’s loss in the opening encounter against Gabon to a long list of injuries that have plagued the team in recent weeks.
Kenya missed the services of Joseph Okumu (Reims, France), Eric ‘Marcelo’ Ouma (AIK, Sweden), and Daniel Anyembe (Viborg, Denmark).
However, the absence of those players is not deterring him from thinking that they can get all three points on Monday afternoon.
