DR Congo will kick off the tournament against hosts Harambee Stars at a sold-out Kasarani Stadium on Sunday at 3PM.
Head coach Otis N’Goma is looking to reinforce the Leopards’ reputation as one of the most successful sides in the competition, with the team aiming to secure a third title to add to their proud history.
“We feel excited for the warm welcome that we have received at the airport in Nairobi. We had a good time in Tanzania preparing for this great tournament. Our players are in good condition and ready for the task ahead,” he said.
Kabwit’s combination of physical strength, agility, and sharp finishing makes him a constant danger in front of goal.
Whether deployed as a central striker or out wide, his versatility and eye for goal will be crucial to DR Congo’s campaign.
The Leopards have been drawn in Group ‘A’ alongside Kenya, Morocco—who were the first team to arrive in Nairobi on Monday—Zambia, and Angola.
