Here is how Harambee Stars lineup for their final World Cup qualifier against Ivory Coast.

Harambee Stars boss Benni McCarthy has gone with an attacking lineup to face Ivory Coast in their final World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night.

McCarthy has kept faith with most of his CHAN 2024 heroes with goalkeeper Byrne Omondi starting with Alphonce Omija playing at left-back with Daniel Sakari at right back.

In central defence, Collins Sichenje will partner Sylvester Owino while Alpha Onyango, Manzur Okwaro and Timothy Ouma in midfield.

It is an approach designed to frustrate the Ivorians and deny them superiority in the middle of the pack while in attack, William Lenkupae will play on the right wing as Ryan Ogam plays on the left with captain Michael Olunga upfront.

The match, set to be played at the Alassane Outtara Stadium holds weight for Ivory Coast as they must win to be sure of a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup given Gabon are just one point behind.
