Kenya will face Cameroon in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers Group J fourth match on Monday, marking a crucial fixture in the qualification campaign for both teams.
The match will take place at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Kampala, Uganda, with kick-off scheduled for 4:00 PM East African Time (EAT).
Pulse Sports examines how Kenya might line up for their game against Cameroon in their fourth match of Group J in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
This encounter is significant for the Harambee Stars as they look to get their qualification campaign back on track after a heavy 4-1 defeat in the first leg last Friday in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Harambee Stars, under the guidance of coach Engin Firat, are determined to bounce back and secure a positive result in this return fixture.
With both teams aiming for a place in the prestigious AFCON 2025 tournament, the pressure is mounting on Kenya to deliver.
However, Kenya will not be able to host this crucial match on home soil due to the lack of suitable stadiums that meet the Confederation of African Football (CAF) standards.
Former Harambee Stars coach James Nandwa has singled out Kenya’s inability to play on home soil as one of the main reasons for their struggles in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.
For Kenyan football fans, the situation has been made more frustrating by the national broadcaster, KBC, announcing that it will not be airing the match.
Although KBC had previously acquired the rights to broadcast the game, they revealed that the company responsible for providing the match signal, New World, failed to deliver the necessary feed.
KBC stated that they had paid fully for the broadcasting rights, but the signal issue was beyond their control, leaving fans in Kenya unable to watch the game on free-to-air television.
Olunga has urged focus as Harambee Stars seek revenge against Cameroon in a pivotal 2025 AFCON qualifier.
Despite the setback, fans can still catch the action through other available platforms.
The match will be broadcast live on Cameroonian broadcasterand online via the universal streaming site, allowing viewers to follow the Harambee Stars as they aim for redemption against a formidable Cameroon side.
Cameroon, with a rich footballing history and a squad full of talented players, will enter the match with confidence, having secured a convincing win in the first leg.
However, Kenya will be eager to turn the tide and earn valuable points in their pursuit of a place in the 2025 AFCON, which will be held in Morocco.
Engin Firat faces a tough decision as star striker Michael Olunga is doubtful for the AFCON qualifier against Cameroon.
The tournament, featuring 48 teams from across Africa, is set to take place between December 21, 2025, and January 18, 2026.
Monday’s clash in Kampala is a must-win for the Harambee Stars if they are to keep their AFCON hopes alive and make their mark on the continental stage.
