The Football Kenya Federation is facing significant criticism following the national team's 8-0 Loss to Senegal, a historic defeat for coach Benni McCarthy. According to his assistant, Vasili Manousakis, the technical team had prepared for matches against Comoros and Madagascar, not the eventual opponents. He stated that the fixture change occurred unexpectedly after the squad was finalized.
McCarthy had originally selected a younger team for what were intended to be less challenging games. The late schedule alteration left the inexperienced lineup to face a top-tier Senegalese side without adequate preparation. This sequence of events has led to questions about the federation's planning and its impact on the team's performance.
