NAIROBI, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- Kenya thrashed Seychelles 5-0 in a 2026 FIFA World Cup African qualifier Group F match in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, on Tuesday.
Although Kenya have already been eliminated from the race for a World Cup spot in the group, the emphatic victory provided a morale boost for head coach Benni McCarthy, who is focusing on building a competitive team for future campaigns.
The Harambee Stars moved above Gambia into fourth place with nine points from eight matches.
African champion Cote d'Ivoire, on 19 points, and Gabon, on 18, who are scheduled to play later, are competing for the group's sole ticket to the World Cup.
