The Kenyan national team will be returning to the continental stage after 15 years and have been drawn in Group C

Kenyans fans are optimistic that Harambee Stars will go past the Group stage of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

This after the team was drawn in Group C on Friday night in Cairo, Egypt, alongside neighbours Tanzania, Algeria and highest-ranked side Senegal, world Nr. 23.

This will be Kenya's sixth appearance in the competition, having featured in 1972, 1988, 1990, 1992 and 2004 but they have never progressed past the knockout stage of the competition.
