Mulee has given his opinion on how Kenya can qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Former Harambee Stars head coach Jacob Ghost Mulee has revealed what Kenya needs to do in order to stand a chance of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking at Zetech University Sports Awards Luncheon at their Thika Road Campus in Ruiru, Mulee said that the core of the side Engin Firat is preparing must consist of foreign-based players who have accumulated the experience of playing at the highest level of football in order to give them a chance of faring better against the top sides.

“I was at the World Cup in 2022 and I did my own analysis,” Mulee said. “When you look at all those teams in the World Cup, Morocco made it up to the last four but they had only three local-based players,” he added.
“When you look at players playing abroad, they have the right kind of training week in, week out without disruptions.”

K'Ogalo have been knocked out of the CAF Champions League.
However, Mulee insists that some local-based players should also be involved in the setup in order to allow for the players to learn from the professionals on the team.
“Not that I don’t respect players who are playing at home, but that is a different ball game altogether, so I think if we can have a good combination to get players with that Kenyan blood playing abroad with a few local players, there is a possibility to challenge big teams.”
