U20 Afcon: Meet the three Kenya players who could trouble the Flying Eagles in final Group B clash
Published: May 06, 2025
As Nigeria’s Flying Eagles prepare to face Kenya in their final Group B match at the CAF U-20 AFCON, there are several Kenyan players that could pose a serious threat to their hopes of securing a spot in the knockout stages.
Here are three players to keep an eye on:
Lawrence Ouma
Ouma has been Kenya's standout player in the tournament so far, scoring in both of their opening matches.
The attacking midfielder has shown he can be dangerous in front of goal, making him the key player to watch.
His ability to break through defenses and find the back of the net will be a crucial test for Nigeria’s defense.
Bernard Jairo
Jairo, who started in goal for Kenya in their opening 3-2 loss to Morocco, proved himself as a resilient shot-stopper, making six saves out of nine attempts.
His performance in goal could be critical for Kenya, especially considering the attacking pressure
Nigeria is likely to mount. Jairo’s ability to keep Kenya in the game will be vital for any hopes of an upset.
Aldrine Kibet
Harun Kibet has played a crucial role for the Kenyan side. Operating as a box-to-box midfielder, Kibet contributes to both attack and defence. His physical presence and tireless running provide Kenya with energy in the middle of the park.
Kibet is not shy to press opponents or engage in tackles. His battle with Nigeria’s midfielders could be one of the game’s defining duels.
The Flying Eagles, aiming to top the group, must approach the game with caution and discipline to avoid a surprise setback from these three dangerous individuals.
