Kenya Futsal team kicks off AFCON 2026 qualifiers in Namibia

Kenya’s national futsal team has landed in Namibia ahead of their CAF Futsal Africa Cup of Nations 2026 Morocco qualification campaign.

Kenya face Namibia in a two-legged first-round tie, one of 18 teams competing for seven spots at the continental finals, where hosts and defending champions, Morocco, await.

The first leg takes place in Namibia on January 23, with the return leg in Nairobi scheduled for January 28. The aggregate winner will advance to the second and decisive qualification round.

Other first-round match-ups include Cape Verde vs Senegal, Cameroon vs South Sudan, and Zimbabwe vs Tanzania, highlighting the tough competition ahead.

Kenya’s focus will be on a solid away result, with defensive discipline, sharp finishing and home support expected to be key.

A strong showing at home in Nairobi will then determine if they progress to face Libya in February’s second-round fixtures, slated for February 3-4, with the return leg set for either February 7 or 8.

Only the winners will book a place at the AFCON finals in Morocco.
