Kenya Police FC is set to make history as they prepare for their highly anticipated first leg match in the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round against Egyptian giants Zamalek. The thrilling encounter will take place on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at the iconic Nyayo National Stadium.
After securing their spot in this crucial round with a hard-fought 1-0 aggregate victory over Ethiopia Coffee SC, Kenya Police FC is ready to face their next big challenge. Rashid Toha’s decisive goal in the second leg was pivotal, marking one of the club’s most significant moments in its history.
Head coach Anthony Kimani is brimming with confidence as his team readies for the clash. “We’ve had a solid two weeks of preparation since our last game against Ethiopia Coffee SC,” Kimani said. “The mood in the camp is fantastic, and every player is eager to make an impact. I’m confident that whoever gets the chance to play will give their all to secure a positive result at home.”
This weekend’s match against Zamalek promises to be a stern test for the law enforcers. Zamalek, renowned for their rich history and experience in continental competitions, presents a formidable challenge. However, Coach Kimani is optimistic. “We respect their quality and history, but we’ve identified a few areas where they might be vulnerable. We’ll focus on exploiting those weaknesses to gain an advantage.”
With the support of their passionate home crowd, Kenya Police FC aims to leverage their home-ground advantage to the fullest. Team captain Musa Mohammed highlighted the importance of fan support for this historic fixture. “We need our fans to come out in full force. This is bigger than just Kenya Police FC; it’s about representing our country. We urge everyone to rally behind us,” Mohammed said.
