The national soccer team, Harambee Stars, on Thursday, 26th August, held their first residential training session at the Utalii Grounds in Nairobi. This comes ahead of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers’ back-to-back matches against Uganda and Rwanda.

All locally-based players called up for national duty reported to camp on Wednesday, 25th August, except AFC Leopards influential forward Elvis Rupia, who will be replaced by Tusker’s Henry Meja.

Harambee Stars defender Eugene Asike spoke about their first training session. He said: “Today’s training session was fruitful and exciting, we got to see how good our endurance is and I believe over the next training sessions we will improve and be in our best form for the crucial 2022 World Cup qualifier matches against Uganda and Rwanda,” said Asike.

Lawrence Juma hopes to take his good form from the just-concluded FKF Premier League to Harambee Stars to help the team get a positive result.

”I aim to transfer my good form from the league to the team and help attain a positive result in the crucial back-to-back 2022 World Cup qualifing matches against Uganda and Rwanda,” said Juma.

Foreign-based players are set to start checking into the camp from Monday, 30th August.

Stars will face Uganda on 2nd September, after which they will head to Rwanda tentatively on September 3rd to face Amavubi (The Wasps) on 5th September.
