Kenya head coach Benni McCarthy has named his 36-man provisional squad for the back-to-back 2027 AFCON qualifiers against Bafana Bafana next month.
McCarthy’s side face off against his home country looking to spoil matters for Pitso Mosimane who will be keen to continue his brilliant start with the national team.

Bafana first beat Guinea 2-1 before thrashing Eritrea 5-0 and collecting an 1-0 win in a friendly match in Egypt.
McCarthy on the other hand is yet to taste victory in the 2027 AFCON Qualifiers though his team have already sealed passage to next year’s continental showpiece in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
The Harambee Stars played to a 1-1 draw in their qualifying opener against Eritrea before a 1-0 defeat to Guinea.
Here’s a look at the players in the squad expected to be trimmed before the trip to South Africa.
The first clash will be staged at Orlando Amstel Arena on Friday, 13 November, at 18:00, with the return tie in Kenya set for Tuesday, 17 November 2026.
