The final 23-man Harambee Stars squad for the upcoming FIFA Series 2026 taking place in Kigali, Rwanda has been officially confirmed following a number of changes.
The adjustments come after several players from the initial squad were ruled out due to injuries and unavailability, prompting the technical bench to settle on a revised travelling squad.
Some of the notable names who have been replaced include captain Qatar-based Micheal Olunga whose planned presence could have been affected by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Highly rated Zak Vyner, who plays for English Championship side Wrexham, will also not be available during this international window due to personal details that need sorting.
