Under head coach Benni McCarthy's leadership, Kenya's Harambee Stars are on the verge of a historic Chan quarter-final place after a 1-0 victory over Africa's top-ranked nation Morocco, despite playing with 10 men. This follows a 1-1 draw against Angola, also with a numerical disadvantage.

• Kenya tops Group A with 7 points.
• President William Ruto promised each player Sh2.5 million for a win against Zambia, and a two-bedroom house from the affordable housing project if they win in the quarter-finals.
• The Confederation of African Football suspended ticket sales for the Zambia match due to an investigation into fans forcing entry at Kasarani Stadium.
