Kenya national team head coach Benni McCarthy says his boys have a better chance of beating the continent’s best teams at the upcoming African Nations Championship.
Three neighboring nations, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are co-hosting the 2025 CHAN tournament.
Kenya is in Group A alongside the DR Congo, Morocco, Angola and Zambia.
The Harambee Stars will open their campaign with a fxture against two-time Champions, the DRC.
Speaking to Cafonline in an interview, McCarthy, is confident his side is ready to deliver.
“The difficult team will always be in your path and you have to beat them anyway. We have a great opportunity with two-time Champions in the DRC and Morocco, Angola which is also very well respected as well as a tough nation in Zambia who have always been there in Africa football,”he said.
“And now, we have a kenya who want to have a taste of the top. This is our time and the squad we have gathered is hungry and want success. How better than start this is in your own backyard. We play our matches on our home ground in front of the home fans and this is a perfect opportunity to do exceptionally well and eliminate teams that could probably get to final early,“noted Mccarthy.
“This will be a massive challenge and a good test for the boys as well. We will be ready and come CHAN, I can very confidently state that we will be a team fearful of no one,”he concluded.
The CHAN championship will run from 2nd August to 30th August, 2025.
