NAIROBI — The national futsal team have commenced training for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier tie against Namibia.

The 14-member squad reported to camp at the Kasarani Indoor Arena under the keen eye of head coach James Omondi.

Kenya play the southern Africans in the opening round of the qualifiers, with the first leg set for February 3-4, before the return tie, three days later.

Should they edge past Namibia, the home boys face Libya in the next round, with the chance to become among seven countries to join hosts Morocco at the continental competition.

Kenya have never qualified for the continental showpiece before but will be buoyed by their five-star performance at last year's Asian Futsal Cup in Sri Lanka.
