Harambee Stars AFCON qualifiers
The Harambee Stars AFCON qualifiers put Kenya in a group with South Africa, Guinea and Eritrea. The campaign opened with a 1-1 draw against Eritrea in Nairobi on 26 September 2026 and a 1-0 defeat in Conakry five days later.
The next two rounds pair Kenya with South Africa, away on 11 November and at home on 15 November 2026, before the last two games in March 2027. The group table updates after each round, with the qualification places in colour.
| # | Team | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | South Africa | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 1 | +6 | 6 |
| 2 | Guinea | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 3 |
| 3 | Eritrea | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 6 | -5 | 1 |
| 4 | Kenya | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | -1 | 1 |
Points against South Africa decide most of the group: two results there change the table more than any other pair of games.
