Barry Otieno highlighted that the return of the team back to action was a positive development for the country.
“Football is coming back from a very difficult period. We have missed big opportunities for both men and women.
“These friendlies are the first step in rebuilding the team and getting us ready for competitive international football,” Barry Otieno stated.
New Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat noted that the friendlies would help the team develop after a long break.
It was also announced that the players would return to the camp on March 17, 2023.
“It is important to keep the team engaged, to keep working so that we are able to play at a good level when we return,” Firat noted.
