Kenya has been pooled in Group B of the 2019 Africa U17 Cup of Nations CECAFA Region Qualifying tournament, alongside Uganda, Ethiopia, Southern Sudan and Djibouti.
The tournament, set to be played between August 11, to August 26, 2018, in Tanzania, is set to determine which team takes part in the 2019 Africa U17 Cup of Nations in May 2019 alongside Tanzania, who gain automatic qualification by virtue of being the hosts. The winner of the tournament will thus get the spot, while the runners-up could also make it to the tourney in case Tanzania emerges champions.
Kenya will face Southern Sudan in her first match scheduled for August 14, 2018, at the National Stadium in Tanzania.
The team, which is set to report to camp on July 26, 2018, ahead of the tourney, most recently finished fourth at the CECAFA U17 Championships in Burundi in April, behind Tanzania, Somalia, and Uganda.
Group A: Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, Sudan
Group B: Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Southern Sudan, Djibouti
