Kenya vs Grenada: Amahoro Stadium, 5pm Kickoff Live on KBC
Harambee Stars take on Grenada in the FIFA Series third-place playoff on Monday, March 30, kicking off at 5:00 PM East Africa Time at Amahoro National Stadium in Kigali, Rwanda. Kenyan fans can watch live on KBC and Azam Sports — the only two platforms broadcasting the match.
Kenya go into it on the back of a painful Friday. Ryan Ogam pulled them level after Estonia’s Tanel Tammik had put the Scandinavians ahead, and for a while it looked like a win was coming. But the penalties came — and Kenya lost 5-4. Four games without a win now, and a squad that needs something to go right before this window closes.
Coach Benni McCarthy is expected to use Monday’s game to hand minutes to players who haven’t featured much — Mohamed Bajaber, Austine Odhiambo and Duke Abuya among those in line for starts. On paper, Kenya should win. FIFA ranks them 112th, Grenada 165th. Grenada themselves were battered 4-0 by Rwanda on Friday and arrive low on confidence. “This is a match we have to win,” a team official told Pulse Sports. McCarthy knows it too.
