Rising Stars have landed a tough AFCON U20 group featuring African heavyweights, setting the stage for a thrilling challenge.
Kenya’s Rising Stars have landed in a challenging Group ‘B’ for this year’s CAF Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) following the official draw held Sunday in Cairo, Egypt.
Rising Stars will make their debut against three-time champions Nigeria, 1997 winners Morocco and Tunisia in what promises to be a competitive pool. The tournament is set to run from April 26 to May 18 in Egypt.
Kenya will represent the CECAFA region alongside Tanzania after the two teams reached the regional qualifiers final held in Dar es Salaam last October. Despite falling 2-1 to hosts Tanzania in the final, both teams secured qualification for the tournament.
