Harambee Stars head coach Engin Firat issues a strong warning to his team ahead of their 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifier against Seychelles in Group ‘F’. Expressing concern about potential complacency, Firat emphasizes the risk of underestimating Seychelles, who suffered a 9-0 defeat to Ivory Coast in their opening match.
The team is currently in Cote d’Ivoire, gearing up to face Seychelles at Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan tonight. Firat stresses that underrating Seychelles would be a significant mistake and urges the squad to approach the match with the seriousness it deserves, citing the unpredictability of football.
Reflecting on their recent loss to Gabon, Firat reveals that they utilized training sessions to address identified gaps. Despite the heart-wrenching defeat, he believes the experience provided invaluable lessons, contributing to a strengthened campaign mindset.
