Coach: Sebastien Migne
The 46-year-old came from France to work as an assistant to Claude le Roy with the Democratic Republic of Congo squad at the 2013 Cup of Nations finals. Migne then got a chance to run the under-20 side before going out on his own across the Congo river to become national coach of the Congo Republic in 2017.
He was named Kenya coach last May.
Key player: Victor Wanyama. Age: 27. Midfielder
In a country with a bevy of Olympic gold medallists, Wanyama cuts a popular figure with his profile from the Premier League, which is keenly followed in Kenya. He had an injury hampered season at Tottenham Hotspur and was an unused substitute for this year's Champions League final against Liverpool.
Wanyama, who was previously at Celtic and Southampton, left Kenya as a teenager to play at Beerschot in Belgium.
