South Africa Arrive in Nairobi Ahead of Kenya AFCON Qualifier

What changed

South Africa’s Bafana Bafana arrived in Nairobi on November 14 ahead of their AFCON 2027 Group D return qualifier against Kenya next Tuesday at Nyayo Stadium. Led by coach Pitso Mosimane, South Africa top the group with seven points after a 2-2 draw with Kenya in the first leg at Orlando Stadium.

Why it matters

The return match gives Kenya a clear chance to change its position in the group. Harambee Stars have drawn twice and lost once, while South Africa arrive as the team to catch.

The first meeting produced four goals and no winner, so neither side enters this fixture with a settled advantage. The result will shape the next stage of the qualification race, even if the final format and squad availability remain unclear.

Tickets are already on sale, with main-stand entry priced at Ksh 300.
