The Harambee Stars of Kenya chances of winning the World Cup rest on their own shoulders as they get ready for the pivotal match against Gambia on matchday five of the quadrennial competition in 2026.

Given that the Harambee Stars still have five games left, a victory would increase their prospects of qualifying.

Following the Junior Starlets, who were the first Kenyan team to compete at the world tournament last year in the Dominican Republic, Kenya hopes to make its maiden appearance at the World Cup.

Here is how both team line up
