The Harambee Stars will make their historic debut at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) on Sunday at 3 p.m., facing DR Congo at Kasarani Stadium. This marks a significant milestone for Kenya's football journey.

• DR Congo holds a slight historical edge with four wins against Kenya's three in nine previous encounters.
• The Harambee Stars will be led by new head coach Benni McCarthy.
• The 27-man Harambee Stars squad includes a mix of experienced and young talent, with additions like Brian Michira (Shabana FC) and Chrispin Erambo (Tusker FC) due to earlier fitness concerns for other players.
