Where to watch Bafana vs Kenya: TV channel & livestream

Bafana Bafana are preparing for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Kenya and it is a game that has many subplots.

Kenya are coached by South African legend Benni McCarthy, who is looking to get one over his country, at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Friday evening.

Bafana Bafana head into the game top of their qualifying group with six points from two games, three more than Guinea, while Kenya and Eritrea have one each.

Bafana Bafana and Kenya’s recent form

However, Kenya are already assured their ticket to AFCON 2027 by virtue of being co-hosts, leaving South Africa, Guinea and Eritrea to tussle for one slot.

That adds an extra layer of pressure to Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane and his charges while McCarthy is keen to prove a point after being overlooked for top jobs in the country.

Heading into the game, there is excitement after Mosimane started his stint with an 100 per cent record, having overseen a 2-1 win over Guinea before his team thrashed Eritrea 5-0.

This will be the third meeting between Kenya and South Africa with the first one having ended 2-0 in favour of Bafana Bafana in February 2011 while the second was a 2-1 win for South Africa October 2012.

Both matches were friendly and therefore Friday’s clash and another one in Nairobi four days later will be the first competitive meeting between the two sides.
