Fans can purchase the tickets on Mookh.
Players to watch during the tournament include Aboud Omar, a veteran left-back and captain of the national team.
Boasting over 40 international caps, Omar merges tactical intelligence with calm leadership under pressure.
Now 32, he brings rich experience from stints in Greece, Belgium, Bulgaria, and Romania, and his recent tenure helped Kenya Police FC clinch the 2024-25 FKF Premier League title.
Another player to watch is Masoud Juma, a late surprise addition to coach Benni McCarthy’s CHAN 2024 squad.
Recently back in Kenya and signed to a National Super League club, Juma’s history with McCarthy at Cape Town City bolstered the coach’s confidence in recalling him.
Building on Juma’s unexpected return, he brings a wealth of experience to the team.
He previously topped the Kenyan Premier League scoring charts with Kariobangi Sharks and has featured for clubs in Morocco, Libya, Algeria, Iran, and South Africa.
Turning to another exciting prospect, Ryan Ogam is one to watch, as he brings youthful energy.
The Tusker FC forward was leading the FKF Premier League scoring table with 15 goals last season before he was brought down by a knee injury that held him out for several months.
Now back in training and fully fit, he is still a key player in Kenya's attacking front.
His pace, clever positioning, and composure in front of goal make him an ominous option, especially against high-pressing teams.
