As the tournament unfolds, the victors of these initial clashes will advance to the grand finale, while the teams not making the cut will vie for third place in a play-off scheduled for Tuesday, March 26 at 6 pm.

Both coaches have carefully selected a formidable squad set to challenge for the title in the tournament. For the Harambee Stars, the tournament is a pivotal phase in their preparation for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

Harambee Stars side is expected to be led by captain Michael Olunga who is back to his goalscoring form having netted 11 goals this season in the Qatar Stars League.

In his last outing with Al Duhail, Olunga bragged a brace helping his side record a 3-1 win over Al Shamal at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium.

Scottish-based Jonah Ayunga is also expected to light up the tournament after receiving his first Harambee Stars call-up. Ayunga who plays for St.Mirren stated in a past interview that the opportunity to play for Harambee Stars will help him honour his father's sacrifices.

"It will be amazing. My dad came to England when I was quite young when I was just born.  He sacrificed a lot and missed his family. So, I think if I can do that for him it will be amazing,” commented the player who has previously had stints with the likes of Bristol Rovers and Brighton & Hove Albion's U23 side.

How to Watch

The first match between U-20 sides will be shown live on the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) at 4 pm on Friday. The match will play a critical part in determining the Junior Stars' fate in the tournament.

KBC acquired the rights to broadcast the match after sharing a poster announcing to football enthusiasts to catch the live action on the national broadcaster.

The opening match will be live on KBC Radio Taifa and KBC digital platforms.

It is not clear if they will broadcast the rest of the matches, but securing the right for the first match is a clear indication that they will show the rest.

Besides KBC, the matches will also be shown live on Malawi Broadcasting Corporation.
