Kenya is preparing to play Cameroon in Group J of 2025 Afcon qualifiers this month. This is a tricky bend in the qualifiers river. The two sides will play two matches over three days which always go ahead to shape the group's final standing. Kenya needs to get at least four points to be sure of a qualification spot.

The two countries sit at the top of the group with Kenya leading for scoring two goals against Cameroon's one but they are tied on four points and a plus one goal difference. The first two teams will get direct qualification; the other countries in the group are Zimbabwe and Namibia.
