Football Kenya Federation (FKF) is looking at the possibility of having Harambee Stars play a friendly match against Ecuador next month as part of preparations for the CHAN tournament.FKF President Nick Mwendwa confirmed that plans are underway to have the local-based players and the technical bench assess preparedness for the tournament in a friendly match next month.Kenya is set to co-host the tournament alongside East African countries Uganda and Tanzania in September and Mwendwa believes exposing the team to high-profile matches will contribute to having a formidable squad before the competition gets underway.“We have a request, and we are trying to put it together. It is far but the local team can make it. It is a bit difficult because of visas and all and there is no time but they say they can do it so we will wait and see and hopefully it is possible,” Mwendwa told Capital Sport.##NAJAVA_MECA_7876243##This will be the first time Kenya will be featuring in the CHAN tournament.At the same time, the federation boss revealed that the senior players will participate in a Four Nations tournament in Malawi from March 16-22 involving the hosts, Zambia and Zimbabwe.Kenya participated in a similar tournament last year in Mauritius where they recorded mixed fortunes.Stars beat Pakistan 1-0 before losing by the same margin to Mauritius.Among those who had their breakthrough in the tournament is Kakamega Homeboyz striker Moses Shumah.Malawi and Zambia are expected to bring in their under-20 teams in the tournament.Wanjala demands for ruthlessness from strikers in league clash against Mulembe United
