Head coach of Kenya, Sebastien Migne is confident the Harambee Stars can progress out of group C despite the big names in the pool.
The East Africans find themselves in the same group continental giants Algeria and Senegal as well as reginal rivals Tanzania.
However, the confident Frenchman, who team is based in Paris for the pre-AFCON friendly is very optimistic of his sides chances at the tournament.
“We have tough teams, Algeria and Senegal. They have been to the World Cup but this is our perfect opportunity to prove to the critics that we have improved and deserved our spot in the tournament,” Migne said on Monday.
“We have not come to Paris and later travel to Egypt to be tourists there, we shall mean business because we all know how important it is for us to qualify for the knockout stages.”
“We don’t care about the pyramids, but what we want is to qualify and continue the journey through the group stages,” he added.
